* Up-to-date coverage assessment is for receipt of at least two doses of hepatitis B-containing vaccine, while the national target is for receipt of one dose.
In the 2016/17 school year, up-to-date immunization coverage among students in Middlesex-London schools was lower than coverage across the province as a whole for hepatitis B, HPV, and meningococcal ACYW-135.
Up-to-date coverage for all three vaccines was lower than the national target of 90% in the most recent school year.
