Summary

Description

August 2012 note: Subsequent to publishing this report on 28 September 2011, a number of changes were identified as being needed. For full details please see the Errata note document above. Note: Following publication of this report on 28 September 2011, revised Hepatitis B data was received from 6 PCTs. The main PDF report and the Hepatitis B tables files were updated on 2 December 2011. Blank values were originally published in Table 12a of NHS Immunisation Statistics, England, 2010-11 for Hertfordshire PCT. This was previously updated in a correction on 25 October 2011 in the report, excel and CSV tables. No other tables or PCTs were affected. The information in this bulletin, about immunisation statistics in England, comes from: The Health Protection Agency (HPA) and Health Protection Services (HPS) - for information on childhood immunisation coverage at ages 1, 2 and 5. It is collected through the Cover of Vaccination Evaluated Rapidly (COVER) data collection for PCTs. The NHS Information Centre (The NHS IC) - for information about the BCG programme and reinforcing doses of diphtheria, tetanus and polio on the KC50 return from known providers of immunisation services. The Department of Health - for information on persons aged 65 and over immunised against seasonal flu for all PCTs (in conjunction with Health Protection Agency).
