Population vaccination coverage - Flu (primary school aged children) (13666) Metric type

URI
http://id.esd.org.uk/metricType/13666
Help text
Flu vaccine percentage uptake in primary school aged children from reception to year 6 age, who received the flu vaccination between 1st September to 31st January. 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.

The numerator is the total number of children in the respective eligible age cohort that have received at least one dose of influenza vaccine from 1 September in school, pharmacy, and general practice and the denominator is the total number of children eligible for influenza vaccination in the LA geography and children educated out of school in the LA geography, defined by child age at 1 September multiplied by 100.

Any figures under 5 are supressed due to possible disclosure, and are removed from the overall numerator if appropriate.
