* Up-to-date coverage assessment is for receipt of one dose of rubella-containing vaccine, while the national target is for receipt of two doses.
In the 2016/17 school year, immunization coverage among 17-year olds in Middlesex-London schools was higher than Ontario coverage for diphtheria, measles, mumps, pertussis, polio, rubella, and tetanus.
Local immunization coverage met the national target of 95% coverage for measles, mumps and rubella, but was lower than the national targets for diphtheria, pertussis, polio, and tetanus.
