9.1.5 Vaccination Uptake Rates by Ethnicity in Hull
Table 171, Table 172 and Table 173 gives the vaccination uptake rates 2008/2009 for
at one year, two years and three years respectively for each ethnic group 54 . The total
number of children within each ethnic group are provided as well as the vaccination
uptake rates for diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP), polio, haemophilus influenzae type
b (Hib), pneumococcal infection (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine – PCV), meningitis C
(MenC), and measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). Some of the number of children
within each ethnic group are relatively small, so the results should be interpreted
cautiously. Furthermore, there are 124 one year olds, 270 two year olds and 321 five
year olds where ethnicity of the child has not been recorded. It appears that children
without ethnicity recorded are more likely to not receive the vaccinations, which could be
associated.

54 Ethnicity coding varied from being very precise to quite general, so the precise coding was combined
into the above groups. Some of the ethnic groups were combined either because they were not recorded
into subgroups within the database (e.g. Black) or due to small numbers.
