∗p-value < 0.05.

a

National Immunisation Register.

b

Yes = child was enrolled on the National Immunisation Register by the end of the study period.

c

Measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.

d

Vaccinated if child's age was ≥1 year and <5 years old and the child received at least one dose, or the child was ≥5 years and received two doses (MOH, 2020). Although children <1 year old are not eligible for MMR, we considered them to be age-appropriately vaccinated as they may have received a dose.

e

Vaccination status based on child's age at the end of the study period.

f

Ethnicity is self-reported by parents as per the National Health Index dataset and grouped according to Level 1 ethnic categories as per Statistics New Zealand.

g

Middle Eastern, Latin American, or African.

h

The ‘none’ group has been removed from the modelling as they are likely to be young adults at the end of the study period who filled out the Census and thus are inconsistent with the rest of the cohort who were dependent children.

i

Household income: Low (<$25,000), Medium ($25,001–$70,000), High ($70,001–$150,001 or more).
