Your support makes all the difference.Here is a breakdown of the proportion of children in England who have received key vaccinations, by upper-tier local authority area.
The data has been published by NHS England and is for the year 2022/23.
The figures are presented in three sections.
The first section gives the data for children who received their primary DtaP/IPV/Hib/HepB (six-in-one) vaccination by their first birthday.
The second section gives the data for children who received their primary DtaP/IPV/Hib/HepB (six-in-one) vaccination or DTaP/IPV/Hib (five-in-one) vaccine by their fifth birthday.
The third section gives the data for children who received both doses of their MMR (measles, mumps & rubella) vaccine by their fifth birthday.
The DTaP/IPV/Hib (five-in-one) vaccine was replaced by the DTaP/IPV/Hib/HepB (six-in-one) vaccine in August 2017, meaning five-year-olds in 2022/23 will have been offered either the five-in-one or the six-in-one vaccination, depending on the year they were vaccinated.
Each section is ordered by the percentage of children who have received the vaccine, starting with the highest.
