ABSTRACT

Universal vaccination is one of the most effective strategies to control and eradicate infectious diseases worldwide. We present four pediatric cases with serious conditions, treated in the intensive care unit, they did not receive complete vaccination or some vaccine, they developed several complications and one of them had a fatal outcome.
Within their antecedents, two of them had anti-vaccine relatives who do not believe in immunizations, and all belonged to groups with low income and low education.
Missed vaccination opportunities continue to be a topic of current interest that negatively impact health. This favors eradicated diseases resurgence and epidemic outbreaks, as the susceptible number accumulates.
