  Island Boards are not included in the above figures.

Shingles data can be found in three places:

Data over the pandemic period are not available.

For COVID and flu, data can be found here - Dashboard - Pneumococcal and shingles vaccination data - 19 December 2023 - Pneumococcal and shingles vaccination data - Publications - Public Health Scotland. It says pneumococcal/shingles but it does link to influenza/ covid-19

In accordance with FOISA s 17(1), NHS Shetland confirms that it does not hold the information regarding BCG. Data for BCG is not published as this is not a population programme and is just for individuals who are at higher risk, who are offered vaccination as identified.  Therefore, there is no denominator in order to calculate an uptake.
