title: [Vaccination coverage in young, middle age and elderly adults in Mexico].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To estimate vaccination coverage in adults 20 years of age and older.
  
  
  METHODS
  Analysis of data obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Survey 2012.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Among adults 20-59 years old coverage with complete scheme, measles and rubella (MR) and tetanus toxoid and diphtheria toxoid (Td) was 44.7,49. and 67.3%, respectively. Coverage and percentage of vaccination were significantly higher among women than men. Among women 20-49 years coverages with complete scheme, MR and Td were 48.3, 53.2 and 69.8%, respectively. Among adults 60-64 years old, coverage with complete scheme, Td and influenza vaccine were 46.5, 66.2 and 56.0%, respectively. Among adults >65 years coverages for complete scheme, Td, influenza vaccine and pneumococcal vaccine were 44.0, 69.0, 63.3 and 62.0%, respectively.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Vaccination coverage among adult population as obtained from vaccination card or self-report is below optimal values although data may be underestimated. Recommendations for improvements are proposed.
