Adding childhood vaccination coverage to the UKHSA data dashboard

Last updated on Thursday, 16 October 2025 at 09:21am

Entry category: New metric
Entry description:

Data presented on the dashboard are Accredited Official Statistics and supplement the annual report for the cover of vaccinations evaluated rapidly (COVER) programme.

Annual childhood vaccination coverage statistics represent data collected from local authorities in England, Regions in England and countries of the UK.

The data reflects vaccination coverage by 12 months, 24 months and 5 years of age, not the age at the time of vaccination.

Adding these statistics to the dashboard has provided opportunities to introduce new features including interactive maps, charts and data filters.

Insights from surveys, interviews and usability testing have shaped each stage of development. User feedback has been central to ensuring user needs are met by sharing data in a way that is clear, easy to understand and meets statistical standards.
