El Comité Asesor de Vacunas de la Asociación Española de Pediatría comenta las novedades sobre vacunas ocurridas en el año 2003 y aconseja hacer algunas modificaciones del Calendario Vacunal. Se mantiene la recomendación de sustituir la vacuna de polio oral por polio inactivada, suprimiendo la quinta dosis; se insiste en la introducción de la vacuna conjugada de neumococo y la de la varicela. Con respecto a la vacuna contra meningococo C se comenta la mejora que supone poder inmunizar con sólo dos dosis. De acuerdo con la información recibida de la Agencia Europea del Medicamento, no existe ningún motivo fundado para prescindir del uso de preparados hexavalentes

The Vaccine Assessment Committee of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics discusses vaccine developments in 2003 and recommends some modifications to the vaccination schedule. The recommendation of substituting the oral polio vaccine for the inactivated polio vaccine, suppressing the fifth dose, is maintained. The introduction of the conjugate pneumococcal vaccine and the varicella vaccine is stressed. Concerning the meningococcal C vaccine, the improvement introduced by being able to immunize with just two doses is discussed. In agreement with the information received from the European Medicines Agency, there appear to be no well-founded reasons to abandon hexavalent preparations
