Abstract
Efforts by health authorities to stress the importance of herd immunity in the light of a resurgence of seemingly vanquished childhood diseases have frequently met with poor response rates. Investigating whether reunified Berlin can achieve a desirable herd immunity of 80% - 85% against diphtheria, this paper examines the potential influence of socio-demographic variables (age, gender, social circumstances, migration background) on vaccine-uptake. Secondly, it investigates historically diverging vaccinal policies in Berlin as well as recent changes to monitoring coverage in their effect on immunisation-related behaviour.
