Recommendation 19

19

Develop new vaccination plan to improve early years uptake, with named ICB leads.

Recommendation
Despite the measures contained in the Government’s vaccination strategy, vaccination rates are continuing to fall and the strategy is failing to deliver the improved coverage that is so desperately needed. The Government should brand the currently strategy a failure and develop a new plan with a specific focus on improving vaccination uptake in early years settings. As part of this new strategy, we recommend that the Department consider having a named individual in each ICB who is responsible for co-ordinating the vaccine offer across ICB services. (Recommendation, Paragraph 97)
