Abstract

The immunization records of all children born between 1 January 1976 and 31 December 1980, currently registered with the practice, were checked in a study of the uptake of pre-school immunization. Distinction was made between children born into the study practice and those who had moved into the practice from elsewhere.

Within the practice the uptake rates of all immunizations had increased over the five years. The uptake rates for children born into the practice were significantly higher than those for children who had come in and, by a similar margin, were also higher than the published overall rates for North Yorkshire Area Health Authority.
