NITAG recommendations

13 September 2023

The committee agrees with recommending the Covid vaccine boosters in childhood and adolescence: 1) 6 months to 2 years inclusive: first booster 2) 3 to 11 years inclusive: second booster 3) 12 to 17 years inclusive: second
booster. It is recommended to review strategies and communication to improve primary coverage. The possibility of applying boosters is opened with the following considerations: 1) 3-11 years: improve coverage without separating into groups according to risk factors 2) 6-12 years: improve coverage thinking that the booster would correspond to the winter period 3) 12-17 years: recommend boosters. Regarding recommendations for pneumococcal vaccination in adults, the group recommends replacing the current sequential schedule of VCN13V-VPN23V with one dose of VCN20V. Until VCN20V becomes available, continue to recommend the sequential schedule.
