Comparing implied vaccination rates for multiple sources of denominators provides some indication of uncertainty in the true values. Confidence is higher where the results from multiple sources agree more closely. Because the denominator sources are not fully independent of one another, users should interpret the range of values across sources as indicating the minimum range of uncertainty in the true value.
The following datasets can be used to estimate vaccine uptake by age group for London:
- ONS 2020 mid-year estimates (MYE). This is the population estimate used for age groups throughout the rest of the analysis.
- Number of people ages 18 and over on the National Immunisation Management Service (NIMS)
- ONS Public Health Data Asset (PHDA) dataset. This is a linked dataset combining the 2011 Census, the General Practice Extraction Service (GPES) data for pandemic planning and research and the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES). This data covers a subset of the population.
