The chickenpox vaccine soap opera will kill me. Well, I don't really think that this matters much to you, but I've been trying to find out which children are going to get vaccinated for chickenpox for social security for more than a week, and what children are not currently, according to autonomous communities, and I have not yet achieved Have all the information.
Until we know it, what we can give you is a recent news that we know that the chickenpox vaccine will already be in pharmacies (or should be) February 1, and at a cheaper price than what it had years ago.
A new chapter in the soap opera "Varicella vaccine"
Yes, because more than vaccine soap opera we can talk about chickenpox vaccine soap opera, that she alone takes a few plot twists typical of any series of HBO: first for hospital use, then they put them (because there were two, Varivax and Varilrix) for parents to buy if they want, and some autonomous communities put it on their calendar, free. They pass the Varilrix to "hospital use" leaving only Varivax, which from one day to another and for no apparent reason disappears from pharmacies. Time passes and they decide that they will return to the pharmacies and, when people are already left with that, they say no, that they not only return to the pharmacies but that they will enter the calendar of funded vaccines.
In some communities Vaccination will begin within the systematic calendar (free) in April 2016 Children who then turn 15 months old (that is, children born on January 1, 2015), in others they are already being vaccinated (such as Madrid) and others, such as Catalonia, will not vaccinate children until the year they It comes to children who were born as of January 1, 2016.
Ministry of Health sources say this is a lie
In my intention to solve the framework, to understand what is happening in this country with the vaccine and to be able to inform which children can get vaccinated for chickenpox and which children will have to buy it, I contacted the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality, who kindly informed me that the vaccine will be given to all Spanish children equally, as they explain on their website, under the same conditions and same dates, but not yet.
When I wanted to deny his sentence, explaining that there are communities where it is already being administered (I repeat, Madrid), they reiterated their position and made it clear that if this happened, it was because of the personal action and outside the legal framework of some professionals. Something like "they will be getting the vaccine and administering it out of agreement."
But it's not like that. In Madrid, vaccination began in December 2015 The children who were then 15 months old and during 2016 will carry out a recruitment campaign to give the first dose to children born between October 2012 and August 2014, who were left unvaccinated while the vaccine was withdrawn.
So if you thought that this vaccine was a mess, I confirm: it's a mess.
The vaccine officially returns on February 1
So both for communities that already vaccinate and for those who will vaccinate later, the chickenpox vaccine returns to pharmacies for those cases in which parents want to buy it to administer to their children, but with a cheaper price, being funded for some children.
In the year 2012 the Varivax vaccine cost € 67.91. Now the vaccine goes on sale Varivax, from Sanofi Pasteur MSD, as the vaccine Varilrixfrom GSK. Both will be priced at 45,38€ and you can put either of them interchangeably.
