BackEntry title:

Hepatitis B percentage of infants receiving three doses of NHS scheduled vaccinations

Last updated on Thursday, 20 November 2025 at 03:28pm

Summary

Topic
Hepatitis-B
Category
API name
hepatitis-b_vaccinations_coverageOf3Doses

Rationale

This metric shows the proportion of eligible infants receiving three doses of NHS scheduled hepatitis B vaccinations in England. Hepatitis B is vaccine preventable, and vaccination is the cornerstone of hepatitis B elimination. This metric helps to monitor coverage of the universal infant vaccination programme.

Definition

The percentage of children who have received all three doses of the 5-in-1 (2015-2018) or 6-in-1 (from 2019 onwards) vaccine which includes hepatitis B.

Methodology

Vaccination coverage data collected from the COVER program. The number of children receiving three doses divided by the number eligible over that time period.

Caveats

Coverage may vary by region or local healthcare service delivery. Changes to the vaccine schedule such as from 5-in-1 to 6-in-1 may affect trends.
