immune: Immunisation coverage

In DHBins: Hexmaps for NZ District Health Boards

Description

The report measures the number of children who turned the milestone age of 5 years between 01-Jul-2019 and 30-Sep-2019 and who have completed their age appropriate immunisations by the time they turned the milestone age. The target is 95%. Children are only counted once, according to 'prioritised ethnicity': the priority order is Māori, Pacific, Asian, other, NZ European. The immune_long variant is in long form with separate rows for each ethnicity, and with missing values where the population size is too small.
