  6. MMR Number of confirmed cases of measles in Wales from 1996-2009 28 January 2010 The doctor who first suggested a link between MMR vaccinations and autism acted unethically, the official medical regulator has found. Dr Andrew Wakefield's 1998 Lancet study caused vaccination rates to plummet, resulting in a rise in measles - but the findings were later discredited. The General Medical Council ruled he had acted "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in doing his research.

  7. Mumps • Number of confirmed cases of mumps in Wales from 2007-2009: • 2005 – 3757 • 2006 – 229 • 2007 – 14 • 2008 – 80 • 2009 – 359 • (Health Protection Agency)

  8. Seasonal flu • Provisional data for 2009-10: • only 59% of those aged 65 years or over were vaccinated - well below the new national target of 75%; and • only 49% of those younger people in at-risk groups were vaccinated.

  9. Travel immunisations Travellers need to think about the jabs they need well ahead of the date of travel. NaTHNaC provides valuable information for health professionals and the public. New travel poster will be available at: www.wales.gov.uk/immunisation

  10. NHS reorganisation – strengthening immunisation services • The new HBs have a dedicated immunisation co-ordinator, lead nurse and lead doctor all working together to maximise the impact of existing vaccinations; • They need to adopt best practice and delivery mechanisms consistently in their areas; • All immunisers must be trained in accordance with minimum standards.

  11. Herpes Zoster (Shingles) Following a review of the medical, epidemiological, and economic evidence, and vaccine safety and efficacy data, the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) has recommended shingles vaccine for people aged 70-79 years. The vaccine manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, has announced that it is not currently able to supply enough vaccine for a UK programme.

  12. TB / BCG Tuberculosis cases and rates in Wales reported by Enhanced TB Surveillance 1999-2009 Enhanced TB Surveillance Programme, CDSC Wales. Data as at 15/03/2010
