Calendario de vacunaciones de la Asociación Española de Pediatría: Recomendaciones 2012

The CAV-AEP believes that the coverage of vaccination against human papillomavirus in girls aged 11 to 14 years must increase. It reasserts its recommendation to include vaccination against pneumococcal disease in the routine immunisation schedule. Universal vaccination against varicella in the second year of life is an effective strategy and therefore a desirable objective. Vaccination against rotavirus is recommended in all infants due to the morbidity and elevated healthcare burden of the virus. The Committee stresses the need to vaccinate population groups considered at risk of influenza and hepatitis A. Finally, the Committee emphasises the need to bring incomplete vaccinations up to date using the accelerated immunisation schedule.
