The above data is based upon 149 local authorities, as Rutland is included in Leicestershire, City of London in Hackney and the Isles of Scilly in Cornwall.
The data in 2012-13 was recorded by PCT rather than LA.
Rotavirus vaccine was recently introduced in July 2013 and was only included as a National Statistic from 2016-17.
We have defined ‘reached 95%’ as more than or equal to 95.0% (so those achieving 94.9% will not be counted).
