Pediatricians strongly recommend that The pneumococcal vaccine is administered to the entire Spanish child population in order to protect themselves from meningitis. The problem is that this vaccine costs 77 euros and Spanish health does not finance it, something that should not be considered if the health of children is taken into account.
On the other hand, as we have already informed the Community of Madrid if it has included said vaccine in its calendar and is financed by health. The vaccination unit is necessary, these must be applied in any community and must be paid by Spanish health.
When it comes to the health of the little ones, economic or political issues should not be taken into account, a measure that safeguards children must be applied throughout the country. Facts like this reveal some precarious aspects of Spanish health and must be remedied. The president of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics has requested that Spanish health be responsible for the costs of the pneumococcal meningitis conjugate vaccine for children who are less than two years old, so that it can be reduced up to 80% of the cases suffered with its possible consequences.
Surely all parents agree on this issue, right?
