Among children under 18 years of age who have been looked after continuously for at least 12 months, 87% were up to date with their immunisations in Hackney as of 31 March 2015. 2 Conversely, a local audit performed in Hackney between 15 January and 30 April 2015 found that half (48%) of the 38 children who had an initial health assessment on entering care did not have up-to-date immunisations.
Comparable data are not available for the City of London as the number of looked after children (LAC) is small.
