This review aimed to characterize adolescent vaccination schedules in publicly funded national immunization programs in Latin America and the Caribbean. The initial review identified vaccine type, target age and gender, dose schedule, and vaccination coverage rate (VCR) across 50 countries/territories in the region. A systematic review from January 2010-October 2023 was then conducted to identify primary data collection studies reporting VCRs. Overall, 42 webpages and 23 primary studies were identified. Among 47 countries/territories with ≥1 vaccine for adolescent immunization, human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was included in 45, tetanus component vaccines in 43, and meningococcal vaccines in 10. Catch-up vaccination for hepatitis B in 17, and yellow fever in all 13 endemic countries/territories. VCRs were primarily available for HPV. The findings of this review underscore the need to prioritize adolescent vaccination, improve accessibility, and strengthen tracking infrastructure to ensure comprehensive protection of this age group across the region.
本综述旨在描述拉丁美洲和加勒比地区公共资助的国家免疫规划中的青少年疫苗接种计划。初步综述确定了该地区50个国家/地区的疫苗类型、目标年龄和性别、剂量计划以及疫苗接种覆盖率（VCR）。随后进行了一项2010年1月至2023年10月的系统综述，以确定报告VCR的原始数据收集研究。总体而言，共确定了42个网页和23项原始研究。在有≥1种青少年免疫疫苗的47个国家/地区中，45个国家/地区纳入了人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）疫苗，43个国家/地区纳入了破伤风成分疫苗，10个国家/地区纳入了脑膜炎球菌疫苗。17个国家/地区开展了乙型肝炎补种疫苗接种，所有13个流行国家/地区均开展了黄热病补种疫苗接种。VCR数据主要针对HPV疫苗。本综述的结果强调了需要优先考虑青少年疫苗接种、提高可及性并加强跟踪基础设施，以确保该地区这一年龄组得到全面保护。
