Title of paper: Predictors of Childhood Vaccination Uptake and Timeliness in a Diverse Urban Population Available at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2025.0319 Childhood vaccination rates have declined in the UK, with inequalities in urban, deprived, and ethnically diverse populations. Previous studies have lacked individual-level clinical data or did not explore both uptake and timeliness. We analysed 13 years of routinely collected primary care data for over 37,000 children in a diverse London borough to identify predictors of uptake and timeliness. Distinct sociodemographic and clinical factors were associated with incomplete and delayed vaccination, offering timely insights as responsibility for vaccination services shifts closer to local systems and place-based commissioning.

So, hi, Carol, it's really lovely to meet you and to talk about this work. And I guess just to start, I wanted to put this work into context. We know that in the uk, overall childhood vaccination rates have unfortunately been declining.
