§ Yvette CooperNo target month is set for the completion of influenza immunisations and therefore no target take-up rates were set. This year, for the first time, we have set a target of 60 per cent. uptake in those aged 65 years and over.
The most current data on influenza immunisation uptake rates can be found in "Health Trends" volume 30, number 2, 1998, copies of which are available in the Library.
