Great request - isn't it awesome to see how much vaccination has dropped the rates of these preventable and dangerous diseases?
Rubella is almost gone. Hepatitis B has dropped drastically (vaccine released in the late 80s). I've plotted this data in a spreadsheet against % of the population vaccinated in these years and they correlate very strongly.
Thanks for this request - it's demonstrated how great our national immunisation schedule is!
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence

Where’s the infection fatality rate in New Zealand of these diseases too? I couldn’t find this information published in any MoH funded websites.
