eThekwini Municipality officials report a 92.1% childhood immunisation coverage rate for the 2025/26 period, representing 25,312 fully immunised children. This figure surpasses the national target of 90% set for childhood vaccinations. Despite the positive results, the municipality noted the current coverage is lower than previously reported figures within eThekwini itself. This suggests a slight decline in the previously achieved level of immunisation success. Authorities are likely to investigate the reasons for this dip to maintain and improve future coverage rates. The data indicates ongoing efforts to protect children in eThekwini from preventable diseases are largely successful, though continued vigilance is needed. Further analysis will determine if this is a temporary fluctuation or the start of a more significant trend.
