9.2.2 Pneumococcal Vaccination
The pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination (PPV) scheme commenced during 2000
with approximately 86% of GP practices within East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull
participating. This increased in 2003 with all GP practices taking part in the scheme.
The Humber Health Protection Unit (Humber Health Protection Unit 2006) estimated the
number of persons aged 65+ years who have received the vaccination as at the end of
2005 in Hull. They estimated that 9,719 residents of Eastern Hull PCT aged 65+ years
out of 17,859 (54.4%) and 13,449 residents of West Hull PCT aged 65+ years out of
24,292 (55.4%) had received their pneumococcal vaccination by the end of 2005.
Uptake rates for 2007/2008 for each PCT are provided within a report produced jointly
by the Department of Health and the Health Protection Agency (Begum and Pebody
2008). Table 177 presents the numbers and percentages vaccinated during the
2007/2008 financial year and the numbers and percentages vaccinated at any time up
until the end of March 2008 for those practices who provided information. Not all
general practices provided information, so information on the number of responding
practices is also given. It is possible that the pneumococcal vaccination rates are lower
in the practices that did not respond, so it is possible that the percentage vaccinated at
any time until March 2008, is lower over all practices for Salford, Wolverhampton and
Leicester as 75% or fewer practices responded.
