In which years since 2000 was the mean uptake of MMR vaccine less than 90% on the (a) first and (b) second injection.

Information regarding MMR vaccine uptake rates is available on the ISD website, where trends in uptake over time are published and maintained. The most recent uptake information is available at:
http://www.isdscotland.org/Health-Topics/Child-Health/publications/2011-06-23/child_imms_Scot_qtr111.xls.
The following table reflects tables 6 to 8 from the above publication. Since 2000, the mean uptake of first dose of MMR (MMR1) in Scotland, routinely monitored and published at 24 months, was lower than 90% for the five-year period 2001 to 2005. For the same period, the mean uptake of second dose (MMR2), routinely monitored and published at six years, was less than 90% for five years, 2001 and 2005 to 2008.
Since 2006 uptake of MMR2 is also monitored at five years of age, and this is reflected in the second table.

Note: The first dose of MMR vaccine (MMR1) is routinely offered at around 13 months and uptake is monitored at 24 months. The second dose (MMR2) is offered to pre-school children between age three years, four months and five years of age, and uptake in Scotland is monitored at age six. In 2007, the age that the second dose was offered was standardised at around three years and four months throughout Scotland. This change was phased over a period of a year and a half.
