Nguipdop-Djomo, P; Mangtani, P; Pedrazzoli, D; Rodrigues, LC; Abubakar, I (2014) Uptake of neonatal BCG vaccination in England: performance of the current policy recommendations. Thorax, 69 (1). Abstract: Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) uptake amongst infants in England has not been measured since targeted infant vaccination replaced universal schoolchildren vaccination in 2005, mainly because of the challenges in defining denominators. We estimated uptake between 2006 and 2008 by dividing
more » ... of BCG doses administered to infants by number of all live-births (where BCG vaccination is universal) or ethnic minority/Eastern Europeans live-births (where infant-BCG vaccination is selective). Weighted average uptake was 68% (95%CI=65%-71%), slightly higher in PCTs with universal (72% 95%CI=64-80%) than selective (66% 95%CI=61-70%) policy; and also 13% higher in areas vaccinating in postnatal wards compared to community settings.
