It's a descriptive study of temporal trends of vaccination coverage and the incidence of preventable diseases by department. Both were made based on secondary sources.

Vaccination coverage was calculated according to the information of the administered vaccine doses available in the National Institute of Statistics and the registered target population. Resulting Data is variable and in many cases non-existent.With the available information the distribution of diseases as well as vaccination coverage is very heterogeneous in Bolivia.
