Population vaccination coverage - Rotavirus (Rota) (1 year old) (13663) Metric type
- Help text
- Children for whom the local authority is responsible who completed a course of rotavirus vaccine (Rota) at any time up to six months of age as a percentage of all children whose first birthday falls within the time period. Rotavirus is a highly infectious stomach bug that typically affects babies and young children, causing diarrhoea and vomiting, tummy ache and a high temperature. This oral vaccine is given as 2 doses, 4 weeks apart. Usually the first dose is given at 8 weeks, and the second dose at 12 weeks.
Small numbers below 5 are suppressed. Rotavirus data are available as National Statistics from 2016-17.
Information on childhood immunisation coverage at ages one, two and five are collected through the UK COVER collection by PHE. These aggregated data are collected from CHISs, computerised systems storing clinical records supporting health promotion and prevention activities for children, including immunisation. In England, COVER data are collected for Upper Tier Local Authorities (LAs) using the COVER data collection form. These are established collections based on total populations i.e. not a sample. Data are extracted directly from local population registers and data issues are generally related to under-estimation of coverage. There may be some over-estimation of denominators due to children who have moved away remaining on the area register which can lead to under-estimates of coverage. In some areas it is known that a small number of GPs do not submit vaccination data to the local CHISS also resulting in under-estimation of coverage. Using non-standardised data extraction methods could result in over-estimated coverage. Caution should be exercised when comparing coverage figures over time due to occasional data quality issues reported by some data suppliers. Apparent trends could reflect changes in the quality of data reported as well as real changes in vaccination coverage. While this issue will be more apparent at the local level it may also have an impact on national figures. Similarly, some caution should also be exercised when comparing coverage between different areas where data quality issues have been reported.
