Vaccination is considered one of the most cost-effective and most effective measures in healthcare services. On the other hand, some population groups that live in geographic and cultural isolation have been showing low rates of vaccination. In Brazil, there are no data evaluating adherence to vaccines recommended by the National Program for the Immunization of Unified Health System, better known by the acronym SUS considering children from rural and traditional communities. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate vaccination coverage according to the national calendar of vaccination of children for the first year of life, and their distributions in space and trends in time in children living in rural settlements, communities of quilombolas, and riverside dwellers in the state of Goiás, born from 2010 to 2017. This is an epidemiological, retrospective cohort study, carried out in 40 municipalities of Goiás, followed by an ecological study. The sample consisted of 616 children born between 2010 and 2017, residents of a settled, quilombolas or riverside dwellers community in Goiás. To calculate the vaccination coverage, the percentage of children with a complete general vaccination schedule or by the vaccine was considered, with a 95% confidence interval. In the time-series, trend analysis was estimated for communities according to mesoregions of Goiás, and for this purpose, the Prais-Winsten linear regression was used, with robust variance. Trends were classified as increasing, decreasing, or stationary, according to the p-value and regression coefficient. The spatial distribution of vaccination coverage, according to the mesoregions of Goiás, was carried out along the time-series. In total, 616 children had their vaccine data evaluated, most were male (53.7%) and belonging to the quilombolas community (54.7%). The overall vaccination coverage for the recommended vaccines during the first year of life at 12 months and at 18 months was 52.4% (CI95%: 48.5% - 56.3%) and 57.8% (CI95%: 53.9% - 61.6%), respectively. For children born in 2017, just the yellow fever vaccine and measles/mumps/rubella vaccine had vaccination coverage > 90%. According to the birth cohort from 2010 to 2017, in Goiás, of the ten vaccines evaluated, six showed an increasing trend in vaccination coverage (POLIO, 10-valent pneumococcal, human rotavirus, meningococcal, yellow fever, and measles/mumps/rubella). Considering the spatial and temporal distribution, according to the mesoregions where the communities are located, a decreasing trend for vaccination coverage was only observed in the Center Goiano mesoregion for the hepatitis B vaccine. In the North Goiano mesoregion, increasing temporal trends were observed for most vaccine coverage, the exception was for BCG and measles/mumps/rubella vaccines. Despite this, the North Goiano mesoregion was the only one in which no vaccine achieved 90% coverage in the period of birth cohort 2016/2017. The results present an unequal scenario in the access to vaccination services for rural populations and traditional Brazilians and point to the need for urgent strategies to achieve and ensure equity in health for a group with distinct traditions and characteristics of the urban population of Brazil.
