While vaccination rates in North Yorkshire are generally better than the national average, certain areas, especially in Scarborough, are lagging behind.

Dora explained some of the initiatives that have been implemented to improve vaccination uptake:
Others include:
- Improving invitation letters: The group worked with their behavioural science team to make the invitation letters for vaccination appointments more effective.
- Organizing bespoke clinics: Specialised clinics have been organised to improve access to vaccinations and cancer screenings. For example, YorSexualHealth ran several cervical screening clinics.
