Improve Vaccine Uptake Monitoring and Evaluation

Each of the four UK public health or health security agencies should work together to: maintain accurate, UK-wide insight into the state of vaccine uptake and hesitancy; and understand the measures proven to be effective in increasing uptake across the four nations of the UK. There should be collaboration and some standardisation in the agreed approach across the four nations for monitoring and publishing routine vaccine uptake and vaccine confidence levels in order to better understand regional variations and patterns. Each nation should set and regularly review its minimum acceptable standards of vaccine uptake, which would trigger targeted uptake campaigns if not reached. The effectiveness of vaccine uptake campaigns should be evaluated against clear, standardised measures. This includes retrospective analysis of the Covid-19 uptake campaigns, as well as evaluation of routine vaccination uptake campaigns.
