Childhood Vaccinations Committee House of Lords
00:01 - 02:17
Speaker 1
Good afternoon, and welcome to today's meeting. This is the fourth oral evidence session as part of the committee's inquiry into childhood vaccine rates in England. Thank you to Will Huckster, James Roach, and Doo Doo Sheridan Army for attending. The session is open to the public and it's broadcast live, and it will subsequently be accessible via the parliamentary website. A verbatim transcript will be taken of the evidence and it'll be published on the parliamentary website in due course.
A few days after this session, we will send our witnesses a copy of the transcript to check for accuracy. If there are any small changes, do let us know as soon as you can. And if after this evidence session you'd like to send us more evidence, correct anything or amplify anything or send us more information, you would be very welcome to submit written evidence to us. If a division is called in the chamber during our session this afternoon, I will have to pause the, meeting, to allow members to vote, and, we will resume about fifteen minutes later once members have voted. This is more likely to happen later this afternoon, but it could happen at any time.
So if everybody's ready, perhaps I could ask the first question, remind you to introduce yourselves at at the beginning of your answer. So the question is, what are the trends and disparities in childhood vaccination coverage in your area, and what are the main reasons for those trends and disparities? And whilst you're answering, could you tell us a bit about the relative importance of the different factors influencing childhood vaccination coverage in your area, including access and attitudes to vaccination, and how and whether those factors interact. We have heard that there may be some overlap between income and ethnic minorities, and we haven't really heard any research about that. So you may be able to enlighten us.
So, Dudu, would you like to go first?
