Details

Childhood vaccination coverage in the UK is routinely monitored quarterly, but more timely monitoring was provided during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic by an early-assessment series, of which this report is the last.

The series reviewed aggregated childhood vaccination counts (updated weekly from the electronic records of one supplier of IT services to general practices in England) as a means of assessing the impact of physical distancing measures on vaccination delivery; these data were not for the whole of England, nor did they reflect regional or local variations.

Previous reports in the series, were published by Public Health England.
