Population vaccination coverage - Flu (2-3 years old) - current method (12116) Metric type
- Help text
- Flu vaccine percentage uptake in children aged 2-3 years old, who received the flu vaccination between 1st September to the end of February in a primary care setting (GPs). It's offered every year to children, normally as a nasal spray, to help protect them against the influenza virus. This illness can lead to serious problems, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Children can catch and spread flu easily. Vaccinating them also protects others who are vulnerable to flu, such as babies and older people.
Numerator is the number of vaccinations administered during the influenza season between 1st September and the end of February. The February collection has been adopted for the end of season figures going forwards to take into account data returning from outside the practice and later in-practice vaccinations. This current method is available for data available from 2017/18. All previous data is the same definitions but until the end of January rather than February. It will be assumed that vaccinations given in other settings by other healthcare providers (e.g. pharmacies, special clinics such as antenatal care, residential homes and private or occupational health vaccinations) will be recorded onto GP systems in a timely manner. This is essential for maintaining the individual's clinical record but also ensures a clear auditable trail to the original source of any data and will avoid double counting for the vaccine uptake survey.
Any figures under 5 are supressed due to possible disclosure, and are removed from the overall numerator if appropriate. For Isles of Scilly, City of London and Rutland, the data are aggregated with another Local Authority to ensure that there is no patient disclosure. When presented as their individual local authorities, these areas make up a very small number of practices. Isles of Scilly is combined with Cornwall, City of London is combined with Hackney and Rutland is combined with Leicestershire.
