Percentage vaccination coverage - Hib / MenC booster (24 months) (19714) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the completed immunisations rate at 24 months of children for whom the local authority is responsible who reached their second birthday in this quarter, would have been scheduled to receive a Hib/MenC booster dose (protecting against haemophilus influenzae type b and meningococcal group C disease). Hib and MenC infections are serious and potentially fatal, as they can both cause meningitis and blood poisoning (sepsis).
In England, local teams and Child Health Record Departments provided data for upper tier local authorities (LAs) and the associated general practices (GP). All English data were collected through NHS Digital’s Strategic Data Collection Service. There are some expections where for some local authorities GP data only is included (excludes unregistered population), which can lead to under-estimates of coverage. GP level data was censored when individual values were less than 5.
City of London is included in Hackney data.
