摘要
In July 1999, the Department of Health launched a campaign to immunise all children aged from 0-17 years with a new vaccine giving protection against meningococcal group C infection. Following the campaign, a survey of Immunisation Co-ordinators in England was conducted to identify strengths and weaknesses of the campaign. This paper summarises the main findings.
