51414 (2025). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Health: What has the rate of use of MMR or other measles vaccine been over the last 24 months, by month?

Hon Simeon Brown: As the Member will be aware, the coverage rate for MMR vaccination at the 5-years of age milestone has increased since November 2023. I refer the Member to the attached table. This aligns with the overall trend of our Government's improved immunisation health target, which shows that the percentage of children fully immunised at 24 months of age fell from 92.4% in 2017/18 to 77.1% in 2023/24, rising back to 82% as at 30 June 2025.
