To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many influenza vaccinations for elderly and disabled people were administered in (a) the West Midlands region and (b) Birmingham in the 2014-15 winter period.
Specific data for those with disability is not available, as this is not a distinct risk group collected as part of the national survey.
As at 31 January 2015, 771,998 people aged 65 and over who were registered with a general practitioner (GP) in the West Midlands area were given influenza vaccine*.
As at 31 January 2015, 292,520 people aged 65 years and over registered to a GP in the Birmingham and Black Country area were given influenza vaccine.
