Reuben Garciasecretary of College of Physicians of Salamanca, neonatologist and vaccine expert, told COPE SALAMANCA that the fact that the the rotavirus vaccine will be free in Castilla y León, since January 1, 2023, this is more than important news at a time when families are not in a good economic situation.
It represents a saving of around 200 euros. So far this vaccine has not been funded and has been left to the discretion and decision of the child’s family. It is a vaccine that prevents not only gastroenteritis but also other problems such as the first symptoms of diabetes.
Another fundamental change on the calendar is the introduction of the vaccine against human papilloma for children aged 12 and over. A question of equal opportunities. So far only girls have been vaccinated, thus discriminating against access to boys.
