HC Deb 20 June 1989 vol 155 c104W
Mr. Gareth Wardell

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will publish in theOfficial Report any preliminary figures for the uptake of measles, mumps and rubella immunisation in each health authority in England during the first three months of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines being available.

Mr. Freeman

Uptake of the measles, mumps and rubella combined vaccine is being monitored monthly in selected district health authorities. Early reports suggest an increase in uptake of 10 per cent. compared to matching cohorts of children vaccinated with measles vaccine one year previously.
