Rationale

This metric shows the coverage of the selective vaccination programme for babies born to mothers with hepatitis B in England. Hepatitis B is vaccine-preventable and vaccination is the cornerstone of elimination. This metric helps to monitor the effective delivery of the selective vaccination programme to prevent hepatitis B infection in infants at risk.

Definition

The percentage of eligible children born to mothers positive for hepatitis B in England who have received all five vaccine doses against hepatitis B by 1 year of age.

Methodology

Data collected from the NHS selective neonatal vaccination program. It includes babies born to mothers who test positive for hepatitis B. The number of children who completed five doses by the age of 1 year is divided by the total number of eligible children.

Caveats

Some children may miss doses or have incomplete records. Local follow up and reporting may vary. Results may change if vaccination schedules or data sources are updated.
