Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Non-Covid Healthcare Disruption: Waiting Lists and Screening
Ms Susan Clyne:
On the subject of vaccinations, while it might be 65% for the flu in that age group, it is different across the population. We would look for everybody to participate in the HPV vaccine for girls and boys in schools. For the childhood vaccination programme, one would need herd immunity of over 85%. We are always pushing for the maximum number of people to be vaccinated to give herd immunity.
