| Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over half a million deaths in Brazil, and public healthcare nearly collapsed. Vaccination differs between states and demographics. Dose shortages delayed access. In this cross-sectional study, data were retrieved from the Brazilian Ministry of Health databases published since 17 January 2021, respectively. We developed a campaign optimality index to characterise inequality in vaccination access caused by age due to premature vaccination towards younger populations before older and vulnerable populations were fully vaccinated. We assessed geographical inequalities in full vaccination coverage and dose by age, sex, race, and socioeconomic status. Generalised linear regression was used to investigate the risk of death and hospitalisation by age group, socioeconomic status, and vaccination coverage. Vaccination coverage is higher in the wealthier South and Southeast. Men, people of colour, and low-income groups were more likely to be only partially vaccinated due to missing or delaying a second dose. Vaccination started prematurely for age groups under 50 years and may have hindered uptake of older age groups. Vaccination coverage was associated with a lower risk of death, especially in older age groups (OR: 10.5–34.8, 95% CI: (10.2, 35.9)). Risk of hospitalisation was greater in areas with higher vaccination rates due to higher access to care and reporting. Vaccination inequality persists between states, age and demographic groups despite increasing uptake. The association between hospitalisation rates and vaccination is attributed to preferential delivery to areas of greater transmission and access to healthcare. | |
