The Department of Health has updated the vaccination schedule for 2026 by introducing a vaccine against the syncytial respiratory virus for adults
The Department of Health ofthe Basque Government has made a number of changes to the vaccination calendar of the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country by 2026, both in the caseof adult vaccines and in thecase of infant vaccines. "The calendar of life-long vaccinations is constantly being reviewed in order to update it in accordance with the latest scientific evidence and the recommendations of the technical bodies."
This update of criteria has already been communicated to the professionals of Osakidetza, the health professional colleges and the network of private health centres in the Basque Country.
ADULT VACCINATION
The main novelty of the adult vaccination calendar for 2026 is the vaccination of the syncytial respiratory virus for the following risk groups:
- People who have undergone lung transplantation, whatever the time since the transplant.
- People who have been transplanted into hematopoietic stem cells (TPHs) or CAR-T in the last two years, six months after treatment or transplant.
Vaccination against zoster herpes is also recommended for groups most at risk of developing the disease due to health conditions. Opportunistic vaccination is recommended for people aged 65, 66 and 75 (taking advantage of any consultation of the patient). It is also recommended to supplement vaccination guidelines for people who have already started and are still awaiting a second vaccine with two doses.
Finally, opportunistic vaccinationof pneumococcal is recommended for adults aged 65 and over through VCN20 — which includes about 20 different serotypes.
CHILDREN'S VACCINATION CALENDAR
Two updates have been included in the children's calendar in 2026:
On the one hand, the tetanus diphtheria vaccine that is applied at the age of 16 will be replaced by a combined vaccine that also includes whooping cough (tetanus diphtheria whooping cough), thus increasing the reinforcement against whooping cough following the upturn observed in 2024.
Similarly, the vaccine against meningococcus C A, C, W-135 and Y meningococcuswill be replaced by a broader vaccine,tetrabalent , at doses of 4 and 12 months.
