Recommendation 16
16
Declining childhood vaccination levels represent an ongoing public health crisis requiring urgent action.
Conclusion
The continuing decline in childhood vaccination levels since 2012 is a national disgrace; children should not be dying of entirely preventable diseases. The continued failure to effectively grapple with this is a significant and ongoing public health crisis and will lead to increased costs for the health service in the longer term. (Conclusion, Paragraph 86)
