AEP 2026 Vaccination and Vaccination Schedule

January 1, 2026

The Advisory Committee for Vaccination and Immunization of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (CAV-AEP) updates its recommendations on vaccination in 2026 with the publication of its Vaccination and Immunization Calendar (available on January 5).

For more comprehensive information about this year's recommendations and their scientific basis, we recommend that you read the following document: AEP Vaccination and Immunization Calendar.2026 Reasons and Basis for Recommendations.

These recommendations are aimed at pediatricians, family doctors, nursing staff, gynecologists, midwives, relatives of children and generally anyone interested in up-to-date information on childhood vaccinations.

CAV-AEP reaffirms its goal of promoting the achievement of a uniform vaccination and immunization schedule, in order to maintain the principle of equity in preventing disease and providing health to the population.In the same way, the Committee believes that the joint effort of all health and political actors is necessary to decide on the vaccination and vaccination schedule for Spanish children and adolescents and offers its cooperation to achieve this reasonable goal, and in this sense we congratulate ourselves because the Ministry of Health has agreed on the "Common Schedule for Interpos for Life" approved by the STNS - Interpos Council.2019 and repeated in the following years, which also included some requests from the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP), such as the inclusion of vaccination against pneumococci and chicken pox, and reducing the age for the administration of the human papillomavirus vaccine to 12 years, as well as revalcinesac 2 for 12 years. 2019, the quadrivalent vaccine against meningococcus in youth up to 18 years; 2021.Universal vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 for children and adults aged 5 to 18 years, and extension of this vaccine to risk groups 6 to 59 months in 2022.In 2023, the meningococcal B vaccine was introduced for children, the vaccine against influenza from 6 to 59 months, and the vaccine against HPV for children from 12 years, and the recommendation for vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 remained only for risk groups above 6 months.In addition, in the middle of 2023, the monoclonal antibody against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), nersimab, was included in almost all of Spain for children under 6 months of age and up to 23 months of risk groups, as recommended by the AEP in January 2023, as the first international scientific community to do so in 2023.Finally, a vaccine is recommended in children, which is fully included in all CC.AA.In 2025, the ACWY meningococcal vaccine will be introduced to children between 4 and 12 months of age, as the AEP recommended in previous years.This funding makes the Spanish calendar the most complete in the world.

However, some requests remain, such as vaccinating against pertussis (Tdpa) for adolescents (Already in place in Asturias, Andalusia, Canary Islands, Catalonia and Madrid), reducing the age of administration to 10-12 years in 2025, lowering the second dose of SRPV to 2 years, offering anti-coccal vaccination for adolescents, and hepatitis A vaccination as a single dose within 12-15 months.Pending.Rescue them later.It is therefore considered advisable to make a joint economic effort of the CC.AA. and the Ministry of Education to finance a complete systematic calendar for children living in Spain, as was done in 2023, 2024 and 2025, using the five vaccines and monoclonal antibodies mentioned above.

HIGHLIGHTS IN CALENDAR 2026

At the beginning of each section, the key performance points of each vaccine are discussed.Changes from previous years have been retained, as the vaccine table has been ranked by age of use, with a renewed emphasis on vaccines not yet included in the CC.AA calendar:

- The systematic table maintains the non-discrimination between funded and unfunded because AEP considers that all are systematic immunizations that must be applied to all children, adolescents and pregnant women.

- Vaccination schedule against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type B, polio, hexavalent vaccines carrying hepatitis B, with 2 + 1 schedule (2, 4, 11 months), DTP under 6 years.(DTPa-VPI), although TPA + VPI.

- As per the recommendation of standard-mass vaccine (DDPA), continue to urge, taking into account the limited period of immunity against pertussis, and then a second dose of TDPA is given 10-10 years later.

- maintain a 2 + 1 pneumococcal vaccination schedule with PCV15 (2, 4 and 11 months) or maintain a 3 + 1 schedule (2, 4, 6 and 11 months) with PCV20);

- Recommendation of rotavirus vaccine in children on a systematic schedule.

- Recommendation of the vaccine against meningococcal B as systematic in infants, in a 2+1 regime starting from two months;It is recommended that 4CMenB be given together with all vaccines in childhood vaccination schedules.Meningococcal B vaccination with either vaccine in unvaccinated adolescents with 2 doses and also booster vaccination with 1 dose of 4CMenB (meningococcal B vaccines are not interchangeable) in those adolescents who received this childhood vaccine.For the rest of the ages, the recommendation is individual protection.

- Influenza vaccine for all children from six months to 17 years, to protect them individually and to avoid catching other adults.And this means vaccination of risk groups and living with caregivers from 6 months of age.Best intranasal vaccine from 2 years.

- Renewal of the vaccination program against meningococci A, C, W and Y, with a plan (1+1+1) one dose at 4 months, another at 12 months and another at 12-13 years old, gradually saving those who are not vaccinated MenACWY up to 18 years old.For the rest of the age, the advice is personal protection.

- Maintain MMR and chickenpox vaccination schedule with 2 doses, recommend tetra viral vaccine (MRPV) for second dose, lower age for second dose to 2 years.

- Vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 (strain LP8.1 and if not available with substrain KP.2) for all children and adolescents at risk from 6 months of age.Vaccination with these new vaccines is also recommended as individual protection for all children and adolescents who wish to do so.

- Human papillomavirus vaccination is recommended for boys and girls aged 10 to 12 years, as the burden of neoplastic disease in boys due to this virus is also important.Choose HPV9 instead of HPV2 and receive funding up to age 18 for both men and women with a single dose up to age 25.

- Maintain the recommendation for the use of nirsevimab (monoclonal antibody against RSV) in infants less than 6 months to 2 years of age in risk groups of the disease (in premature infants less than 35 weeks to 12 months of age).

- The possibility to interactively consult the 2 usual tables (systemic and risk groups), where if we click on the vaccine we get the recommendation that appears in the base table of each table.

New this year:

- La vacunación frente a la hepatitis A en dosis única a los 12-15 meses con rescate con una dosis a niños y adolescentes sanos no vacunados con anterioridad.

- Create relief points in a systematic calendar.

- We have added a new table that connects different chronic patients with the vaccines they need to receive.

Other facts are:

- For vaccinations not yet included in the free program, request new forms of financing to make it easier for Spanish families to purchase them.

- Request to create a National Immunization Committee in which not only public health technicians of the Ministry and Central Committee, but also scientific societies and patients participate, as recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO).

AEP 2026 calendar table

The vaccination and immunization calendar, developed for childhood, youth and pregnancy, indicates the age at which vaccinations and immunity are administered, which is the one that all children in Spain should receive universally.

(1) Vaccination against hepatitis B (HB).- In the standard 2+1 regimen (2, 4, 11 months), when the vaccine is injected into hexavalent preparations, the minimum interval between doses 1 and 2 is 8 weeks and the interval between doses 2 and 3 is 6 months.In the conventional 0, 1, 6 month regimen, the minimum interval between doses 1 and 2 is 4 weeks, 8 weeks between doses 2 and 3, 16 weeks between doses 1 and 3 and the third is not earlier than 6 months.If a newborn is given 1 dose of monocomponent vaccine, 3 more doses are used in hexavalent form according to the standard scheme (2, 4, 11 months).

(2) Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis (DTPa/Tdpa) vaccine.- In the standard 2+1 regimen (2, 4 and 11 months) with hexavalent vaccines, the minimum interval between the 1st and 2nd doses of DTP is 8 weeks, and between the 2nd and 3rd doses - 6 months;If the third dose was given at age 11 months or older and is separated from the second minimum dose by 4 months, it should be considered valid and does not need to be repeated, but the 4-day grace period provided for standard minimums cannot be applied to this reduced interval.In this regimen, if the 3rd dose was given after 4 years, the 4th dose would not be required, but in this case it should be noted that 5 doses are needed to effectively vaccinate adults against tetanus.

If the vaccination started with a 3+1 schedule (2, 4, 6 and 12-18 months), the minimum interval between the first and 2 and between 2 and 3 doses is 4 weeks and between 3 and 4 months is 6.If it is given at 4 or 12 months of age or older and is separated by 3 at least 4 months, it must be considered valid and need not be repeated, but the grace of the 4-thirty day for the smallest sign cannot be applied to this interval.According to this system, the 5th dose of Tdpa at age 6 is not necessary if the 4th dose of DTPa was given at age 4 or more, but two more doses will be required in the future for a total of 6 doses (see the corresponding section in the support calendar between 7 and 18 years).If not, the 5th dose will be given at 6 years as DTPa or Tdpa, as long as at least 6 months have passed since the previous dose.

DTPa, contained in a hexavalent preparation, can be administered up to 7 years of age following AEMPS approval in June 2019. DTPa-VPI can be administered up to 2 months (Tetraxim), 16 months (Infanrix-IPV) and 13 years.AEMPS has approved two preparations of DTPa-VPI (Tetraxim, Infanrix-IPV) for primary vaccination from 2 months of age and for booster vaccination up to 13 years of age.Regardless of age, if there are contraindications to the pertussis component.Use Td instead of DTPa or Tdpa.

(3) Inactive polio vaccine (IPV).- With the standard 2 + 1 method, the minimum time between the 1st and 2nd dose is 8 weeks and between the 2nd and 3rd dose 6 months;If this third dose has been given for 11 months or more and there is at least four months between the second dose, it is considered valid and does not need to be repeated, but the four-day grace period allowed for the minimum conditions will not be used in this shortened period.If the 3rd dose was given before 4 years, the 4th dose is needed, in the form of DTPa-VPI for 6 years, but if it was given after 4 years, no more doses are needed.If the schedule is 3 + 1 (months 2, 4, 6 and 12-18), the minimum time between the first 3 doses is 4 weeks, and between the 3rd and 4th 6 months, but if the 4 was given for 12 months or more and there is at least 4 months between the 3rd, this should not be considered important, but does not need to be shortened. can take advantage of the 4 day grace period allowedfor the minimum standard.With this method, the 6-year anti-polio dose according to the DTPa-VPI method is not necessary.

Those from countries that use the oral polio vaccine and who only receive bivalent OPV (which has been published since April 2016), must receive the dose of IPV that corresponds to their age (4 doses for children under 4 years, 3 doses for children between 4 and 6 years), with the minimum intervals recommended in the table.If you have received trivalent VPO or VPI, or mixed with VPI and VPO, the dose of trivalent vaccine is calculated for the total number of doses per year recommended, and completed with VPI if necessary;If it is necessary to administer 2 doses of VPI, the minimum time between them is 6 months.

(4) Conjugate vaccine against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) - With the standard 2 + 1 method, the first two types of hexavalent vaccine will be given for at least 8 weeks and boosters from 11 months and 6 months away from the second.With the 3+1 cycle (months 2, 4, 6 and 12-18), the minimum time between the first 3 cycles is 4 weeks and between 3 and 4 is 6 months.If vaccination begins between 12 and 14 months, 2 doses are separated by eight weeks.If you start between 15 and 59 months, only one dose is needed.Immunization is not necessary for people over 5 years of age, except for vulnerable groups.

(5) Pneumococcus conjugate vaccine (PCV).- In the standard 2 + 1 (PCV15) regimen (2, 4, and 11 months), the minimum interval between the first 2 vaccinations is 8 weeks, and the third dose should always be administered from 11 months, with at least 8 weeks of separation days from 2. And the fourth is 8 weeks.The fourth dose is always administered from 11 months. If vaccination begins between 12 and 23 months, it will include 2 doses, separated by eight weeks.If the first dose is given at 24 months or more, only one dose is required in VNC with a high number of serotypes, except for those over 2 years old. Except for one risk where a single dose of VNC with the highest number of serotypes will be given, the 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (VNP23) is indicated for those aged 2 years with an increased risk of pneumococcus infection.

(6) Rotavirus Vaccine (RV) - According to the preparation of the vaccine: monovalent, 2 doses and pentavalent, 3 doses;It is recommended to start the regimen between 6 and 12 weeks of age;the last dose must be given before 24 weeks of age with monovalent and 33 weeks with pentavalent.

(8) Meningococcal conjugate vaccine ACWY (MenACWY).- Starting from the 4th month, a dose of MenACWY-TT (Pfizer) is necessary if it is included in the systematic scheme, because otherwise the Pfizer MenACWY-TT technical sheet will be followed: if the vaccination is started before 6 months, they must receive 2 doses with a minimum interval of 8 weeks between them;if vaccination is started from 6 months: one dose;another MenACWY-TT (Pfizer or Sanofi) in the 2nd year of life, preferably at 12 months, and 1 dose of MenACWY-TT (Pfizer, Sanofi) or MenACWY-CRM (GSK) at 11-13 years.Rescue even with one dose in unvaccinated people between 13 and 18 years.Exceptionally, it may be accepted as valid if a MenC or MenACWY dose is mistakenly given at 11 months of age instead of 12 months, which is the age at which this booster dose should always be given.In CC.AA.if the MenACWY vaccine is not included in the 4th and 12th months in the systematic scheme, if it is not given in an unfunded way, it will be necessary to use the MenC-TT funded by your community.For the rest of life, re-uptake in subjects previously unvaccinated or with an incomplete schedule.

It is still recommended especially for children and adolescents who will live in countries where vaccination is indicated at this age, such as Canada, USA, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Slovakia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Netherlands, Great Britain, Czech Republic, San Marino and Switzerland.For religious reasons, Mecca and during the dry season those traveling to the so-called African meningitis area must also receive MenACWY.For children older than 6 weeks, if they travel to countries with a high incidence of IMD due to the serogroups included in the vaccine, or where there are risk factors for IMD: anatomic or functional asplenia, deficiency of complement factors, treatment with eculizumab or ravulizumab or sutimlimab, infection of hematopoietic recipients with HIV stem cells, stem cells of IMD recipients.serogroup and contacts of the index case of IMD caused by serogroup A, W, or And in association with the outbreak.

(9) Influenza vaccine.—Routine administration in all children 6 months to 17 years of age and at risk from 6 months and in their household and contacts.If you are under 9 years old and in the risk group, in the first season you will receive 2 doses separated by 4 weeks;If you received a dose in the previous season, a dose will be administered.In healthy children from 6 months and even if it is the first season, a dose.If you're age 9 or older, you'll only need one dose per season.Suitable for internal use from 2 years of age.

In children from 6 months to 4 years old with incomplete previous vaccination, the regimen is completed withone of the newer single-component vaccines.Time limit by risk groups: one dose, regardless of the number of doses obtained before, for those who have been vaccinated before or who have had an infection, vaccination or death within 3 months. Groups of vulnerable people can be consulted according to the recommendations of the Ministry of Health and in the CAV-AEP network guide of vaccines.

(11) Hepatitis A vaccine. For healthy children, one dose at the age of 12-15 months. Rescue vaccination with one dose for healthy children and teenagers who have not received vaccination before.If given between the ages of 6 and 11 months per visit, this dose is not included in the treatment from the age of 12 months onwards.In pre-exposure and post-exposure risk groups, always 2 doses every 6 months starting at 12 months.

(12) Measles, Rubella and Mumps (SRP) vaccine.- Two doses, the first at 12 months of age (a dose given from 11 months is considered valid under certain circumstances) and the second at 2 years of age in SRPV form, although application of SRP and Var is accepted, although vaccination is considered appropriate if 2 doses are given at least 4 weeks apart at 1 day of this age or at a different age (maybe) from 11 months.

Rescue begins within 7 to 18 hours

This chart shows the minimum age of dose 1 of the recommended vaccine and the interval between doses of the same vaccine for children from 7 years of age and adolescents who have not started, have not completed or who have started the last vaccine.The series of injections should not be restarted if the first dose was given, according to the minimum time between doses and the minimum age of the administration, but more completely, even if the recommended time between doses is greater ("Dose given, ratio").

(1) Hepatitis B (HB) vaccine.- In unvaccinated people above 7 years of age, 3 doses at 0, 1 and 6 months schedule.The third dose is given 8 weeks after the second dose, if at least 16 weeks have passed since the first dose, and preferably 6 months.

(2) Vaccine against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis (Td/Tdpa/DTPa).- From the age of 7 years, the rescue regime of children or teenagers who have not been previously vaccinated or whose vaccination status is unknown, must ensure the receipt of 3 doses of the vaccine: 2 doses in 64 doses and an interval of 64 doses and one month.DTPa-VPI (up to and including 13 years of age), Tdpa or Td vaccines can be used.At least one of them, preferably the first with Tdpa or DTPa-VPI, if poliomyelitis is needed, and the others with Td or Tdpa or DTPa-VPI.Those who previously received one dose will need 2 doses with an interval of 6 months between them and always with a minimum interval of 4 weeks compared to the single administered dose.Those who previously received 2 doses should receive a third dose, with a minimum interval of 6 months from the last dose.in all cases, after the three doses mentioned have been completed, the 2 doses needed to complete the total series of 5 needed to complete lifetime tetanus vaccination should be scheduled, at minimum 1-year intervals, with Td (or Tdpa if not previously administered) or, if given 5 or more years apart, preferably with Tdpa to maintain perceptual protection.

Adolescents older than 7 years and younger than 14 years who received the 3+1 schedule (at 2, 4, 6, and 12-18 months) and who did not receive additional doses after that need two additional doses, preferably first with Tdpa (or DTPa-VPI), even if the second booster dose has been received. corresponds to age 14 years and provided that at leasta year has passed, although they receive a total of 6 doses of the vaccine containing the tetanus component.If they are 14 years of age or older and have received the 3+1 regimen, they also need 2 doses, at least one year apart.

Based on expert advice, it has been decided that if the child receives the 2+1 or 3+1 method with the age 6 dose as well, and mistakenly takes the last dose of Td or Tdpa starting at age 10, the age 14 to 16 dose is not appropriate.

The FDA has approved TdPA vaccines only for people over 7 years of age.The CDC does not recommend DTPA for people older than 6 years of age to avoid an increased risk of reactogenicity.

Pregnant teenagers should receive a dose of Tdpa with each pregnancy, regardless of whether a dose of Td or previous Tdpa was received, preferably between 27 and 32 weeks of pregnancy.

Those from countries using oral polio who received a bivalent OPV-only regimen (administered after April 2016) must receive the 3 indicated age-appropriate doses of OPV at the minimum intervals recommended in the table. If they received trivalent VPOt or VPI or mixed with VPI and VPO, the trivalent vaccine doses will count towards the total of 3 recommended doses and will be supplemented with VPI if necessary;2 doses of VPI, there is a minimum interval of 6 months between them.

(4) Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV).- PCV13, PCV15 and PCV20 are allowed until the age of majority without age restrictions.All non-vaccine risk groups will receive 1 dose of VNC15 and 8 weeks later 1 dose of 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine (VNP23).If they receive PCV20, they will not need a dose of PCV23.Once they have received VNP23, they will be able to receive 1 affordable dose of VNC containing multiple serotypes at least 5 years apart (12 months in high-risk groups).High-risk groups will receive the 2nd and final dose of VNP23 5 years after the 1st dose when they received VNC15 because if they receive VNC20 they will not need it.

(5) Vaccine against meningococcus B (MenB).- Systematic vaccination at the age of 12 with one of the two vaccines is recommended, respecting the minimum age for each of them.Two doses.4CMenB, between 2 and 50 years old, with a minimum separation interval of 4 weeks.booster dose with 4CMenB at 12 years of age, as the meningococcal B vaccine is not interchangeable.Elective recommendation at any age in risk groups: anatomical or functional asplenia, complement factor deficiency, treatment with eculizumab or ravulizumab or sutimlimab, hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients, HIV infection, previous episodes of AMD due to any serogroup and contacts of an index case of AMD due to serogroup B in an epidemic context.

(6) Meningococcal conjugate vaccine ACWY (MenACWY).- There are 3 MenACWY vaccines (MenACWY-TT-Pfizer, MenACWY-TT-Sanofi, and MenACWY-CRM-GSK) available to immunize children over 7 years of age.
