The Department is working with the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) and NHS England to improve coverage, including a recent communications campaign and a polio booster vaccine for children in London; increased public communications from the UKHSA to improve vaccination coverage for children; improved data collection to identify and address vaccination rates in underserved populations; and further training for healthcare professionals.
