| Time frame of data and timeliness | Teenage booster immunisation coverage rates are collated by school year; this is defined as ending 31 July for reporting purposes. Data for school year 2023/24 were extracted on 12 August 2024 and published by PHS in November 2024. |
| Coverage | The target population these statistics aim to cover are all eligible pupils in the third year of secondary school (S3). Pupils who have missed their vaccine in S3 are offered it in later years of secondary school (S4, S5 and S6). |
| Completeness | There are some data quality issues affecting the accuracy of the class year cohorts identified as eligible for immunisation. This is due to some inaccuracies in the recording of the class year or associated information used to collate the cohort data from CHSP School. For all class years presented there are a small proportion of records on CHSP School where pupils are allocated to ‘default’ school codes which indicate for example, the school is unknown. The majority of these ‘default’ codes are likely to be data errors and therefore these data have been excluded from the calculations. The effect of this on the reported coverage rates is thought to be minor. A small number of immunisations may be given out-with the schools’ programme by GPs or in private clinics for example. SIRS/CHSP School would normally be updated to reflect these pupils’ immunisation status. However, there may be a few instances where details of immunisations given out-with the school programme are not provided to administrative staff in NHS Boards who update CHSP School and SIRS. |
| Accuracy | As data are recorded on CHSP School and SIRS for the primary purpose of helping to facilitate the scheduling and invitation of children for immunisation, a high degree of accuracy of data recording on immunisations given by NHS Boards is required. In addition, NHS Board Immunisation Co-ordinators have the opportunity to review figures for their area prior to publication, so that any issues affecting the reported rates can be highlighted to users as appropriate. Figures are compared to previous years' figures and expected trends by PHS. |
