“…., adelantar la segunda dosis de vacuna frente a varicela a los dos años.Debido al muy importante aumento de casos de tosferina desde finales del 2023 y especialmente en 2024, recomendamos adelantar la dosis de Tdpa en la adolescencia a los 10-12 años.Para completar la protección frente a los meningococos en la adolescencia, recomendamos la vacunación frente al MenB a los 12 años.Consideramos que la vacunación frente a gripe debe ser sistemática hasta los 18 años, pero dadas las decepcionantes coberturas en los niños entre 6–59 meses, creemos prioritario actualmente aumentar dichas coberturas, y una vez conseguido este objetivo, ampliar la vacunación a niños y adolescentes entre 5–18 años.Se mantienen respecto al calendario 2024, entre otras, las tablas de inmunización sistemática para personas sanas y la de grupos de riesgo, el uso de las nuevas vacunas conjugadas de valencia ampliada frente al neumococo, la vacunación sistemática a los 4 meses de edad con MenACWY, y la vacunación frente al SARS-CoV-2 para personas mayores de 6 meses con factores de riesgo.…”
