Childhood Immunisations

Immunisation Mapping by Postcode Sector

As a public health measure immunisations have been hugely effective in reducing the burden of disease.  When immunisation rates fall it increases the possibility of disease transmission.  Postcode sector analyses, as presented below, provides greater detail allowing healthcare professionals to monitor uptake at a local level.

The two maps presented show primary immunisation uptake rates by postcode sector for Diphtheria and MMR.  Choose a NHS board from the maps below to show uptake rates at postcode sector level.  To view and print Scotland level map click on the following: Diphtheria and MMR.
