The Health Protection Agency (HPA) publishes quarterly data under the COVER (cover of vaccination evaluated rapidly) programme.
Data are not available for Basingstoke itself, and the organisation responsible for primary care for Basingstoke has changed following national health service reorganisations. Up to 2002, North and Mid Hampshire health authority (HA) was responsible; for 2002 to 2006 it was North Hampshire primary care trust (PCT); and from 2006 it has been Hampshire PCT.
