The new schedule of vaccinations and systematic immunizations has already been approved in Castilla y León and will come into force on April 1, 2026, extending vaccination against influenza up to eleven years of age, in addition to actively increasing the number of unvaccinated men against HPV up to age 25. On the other hand, the 20-serotype conjugate pneumococcal vaccine will be replaced by the 21-serotype vaccine in people over 65 years of age.
All vaccines will be free for the population that has received them regularly, as in the rest of the schedules. In the case of flu, the regimen will be one dose except in children under nine years of age, where they will receive two separate doses.
On the other hand, they encourage the younger population to get vaccinated because there is “a highly favorable cost-effectiveness relationship from a social and health perspective, as well as indirect effects in preventing the spread of influenza, which has a great impact on reducing the burden of this disease.”
In the case of Human Papilloma, the extension of active recruitment for men up to 25 years of age with single-dose regimens has been included, applying to men born between 2001 and 2006. Likewise, “people included in risk groups must follow the specific regimen established in the corresponding instruction.”
In Pneumococcus, the order “replaces the 20-serotype pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (NCV20) with the 21-serotype conjugate vaccine (NCV21) in the population over 65 years of age,” while the change has been due to the availability of improved protection.
