Spatial distribution of municipalities reaching 95% of MMR first dose vaccine coverage in relation to the deprivation level in Brazil. Note: Municipalities included in the analysis: N = 5565. Municipalities per region: Southeast n = 1668; South n = 1188; Central-West n = 466; Northeast n = 1794; North n = 449. Municipalities per deprivation level: first quintile n = 224, second quintile n = 344, third quintile n = 857, fourth quintile n = 1575, fifth quintile n = 2565.
