Quarter 3 Public Health Performance Report

1 story · 1 council

Islington councils are currently discussing childhood immunisation rates, which remain below target according to the latest Quarter 3 Public Health Performance Report.

The Quarter 3 Public Health Performance Report, presented to Islington's Health, Wellbeing and Adult Social Care Scrutiny Committee in September 2026, showed childhood immunisation rates for five-year-olds at 67.1%. This figure falls short of the 70% target set for MMR2 coverage.

The report indicated that increasing the uptake of childhood immunisations is an ongoing challenge in Islington, as it is across North Central London, London, and England. While the Q3 2025/26 uptake was 67.1%, the report also noted a trajectory of improvement for other indicators.
