8 Vaccinations and Immunisations PDF 33 KB
NHS England to report
(10.40 a.m.)
Minutes:
Fiona Jordan, Consultant in Public Health and Vaccinations and Immunisations, presented a report on Rotherham’s performance against the Public Health Outcomes Framework in terms of vaccinations and immunisations.
She drew attention to the following areas:-
- Men C – the red Indicator was due to a problem with data and not performance. The schedule had changed from 2 dose to 1 dose but the IT system still counted dose 2 as a missed appointment. This was expected to be rectified for Quarter 1
- Neonal Hep B – the new local service specification from April, 2014, included data collection. Intensive work was taking place to ensure that every baby involved received the correct dosage etc. and on time
- Pertussis vaccination in pregnant women – there was currently a 50% standard against this indicator due to it being relatively new. Locally this was being pushed with GPs, however, there was a problem in that the IT systems between Maternity and GPs did not always link up in specific time for the practice to pick up that a vaccination was required. Work was taking place with Maternity Services and GP practices to try and ensure a more rigorous call and recall programme. Discussions had taken place with the Foundation Trust that the Midwives would be best placed to administer the injection
Resolved:- That the report be noted.
