We do not hold specific data on the overall vaccination uptake data of individuals between the ages of 18-21 years old.

The National Health Service vaccination programme does not include any vaccinations delivered routinely to those aged between 18 and 21 years old, aside from Pertussis for pregnant women, and for those with long-term health conditions. However, there remain opportunities for individuals who have not been vaccinated, or fully vaccinated, to do so when they attend their general practitioner.
