The La Rioja vaccination calendar expands its coverage this year for both children and people over 65 with the incorporation of new vaccines, starting with the financing of the three doses against meningitis B, which were previously paid, for those born in 2023. Other novelties are the incorporation of children under 4 years of age into the flu campaign, the administration of the human papillomavirus vaccine to 12-year-old boys and the extension of the herpes zoster dose to those who are 65 years of age.
Salud has presented its new calendar with some new accounts that start from newborns. These received three doses throughout their first year of life against meningitis B, assuming an outlay for families of close to 300 euros. Now this vaccine will be free for those born from January 1, 2023.
For those who are one year old as of March 1, the ACWY meningitis vaccine is incorporated, which replaces that of meningitis C and has a reminder at 12 years of age. Children from 6 months to 4 years are now also included in the annual flu campaign, which was previously only recommended for children with risk factors.
One of the great novelties of the calendar is found in the administration from the next course of the vaccine against the human papillomavirus in boys of 6th grade of Primary (11 and 12 years old), which will be administered in educational centers. Until now this vaccine was intended only for girls.
On the other hand, for those who turn 65 there are two novelties. The main one, the herpes zoster vaccine, which last year was administered to risk groups. The current dose against pneumococcus has also been replaced by one that covers 20 serotypes.
