- Abstract
Background: In Brazil, rabies is an endemic disease and the vaccination of animals is a form of combat for humans. Objective: The study aimed to analyze the association between sociodemographic and economic factors of adults and rabies vaccination of domestic animals, using samples from the National Health Survey conducted in 2013. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with the outcome of rabies vaccination of dogs and cats and exposures: sex, age, education, per capita income, and skin color of the head of household. Bi and multivariate analyses were performed by logistic regression. Results: In Brazil, 59.3% (95% CI 59.1-59.5) of households have pets. Regarding rabies vaccination, the southeast region has the highest prevalence, with 84.8% (95% CI 83.3-86.2) of households vaccinating all dogs and cats against 63.7% (95% CI 60.9-66.3) in the south region. Individuals in the age group ≥50 years are 64% more likely to vaccinate dogs and cats compared to those in the younger age group (18-29 years old). Regarding education, individuals with ≥12 school years are 2.4 times more likely to vaccinate all animals in the household compared to those with 0-8 school years. Conclusion: The results of this study point to the fact that there's a demand for public policies to guide the population on responsible custody and to provide immunization services.
