Vaccinations are part of the national Collective Prevention plan, i.e. all prevention activities aimed at reduce or eliminate mortality from infectious diseases.
There are many vaccinations, including compulsory and optional ones, to be done in the 3rd month of age e adolescence, the recalls they are possible even in adulthood but they are always optional.
What is the 2017-2019 national vaccine prevention plan and what it includes
Vaccine planning is not arbitrarily decided, but it is part of the national vaccination prevention plan approved in 2017, which indicates the national priorities (for example the elimination of Measles and Rubella), the introduction of new vaccinations (such as anti-varicella and anti-HPV) and the scheduling of vaccinations.
What are the priorities indicated in the plan
Maintain Italy's "Polio free" status.
In fact, Italy eradicated Poliomelite in 2001.
Pursue the objectives of the National Measles and Congenital Rubella Elimination Plan (PNEMoRc) and strengthen elimination actions
Since the introduction of measles vaccination, in 1985, and with the strong vaccination push from 1999 to 2016, we have seen a reduction in cases of measles from 88.000 in 1988 to 254 in 2015. Similarly with the Rubella, which he saw 16 cases in 2019 against 35.000 in 1997.
Ensure the active and free offer of vaccinations, access to services and the availability of vaccines
Access to vaccinations in Italy it is free for all mandatory vaccines of the aforementioned plan
Provide actions for population groups that are difficult to reach and with low vaccination coverage (HtRGroups)
This point may seem a bit difficult to understand, in fact the goal is simple: tackle inequalities and to promote vaccinations in marginalized population groups, such as immigrants, homeless people, the elderly who are alone and sick, or among those particularly vulnerable such as the seriously ill, especially those with immunodeficiency.
The computerization of vaccination registers also falls into this group, with their interoperability at both regional and national level and with other databases.
Develop an institutional communication plan on vaccinations
This is the most "mediatic" aspect, that is to communicate about vaccinations, promoting the culture of the same for collective health. In fact, promote conscious adherence to vaccinations.
Purpose in which, perhaps, it has failed a bit as the pandemic has shown.
Ensure specific vaccination coverage goals for all vaccinations entered in the Calendar.
Obviously, it is useless to set goals if you do not set out to achieve them, and it is impossible to achieve a vaccination goal without adequate vaccination coverage.
What are the mandatory and optional vaccines for children?
There is often a lot of confusion about compulsory vaccinations, but AIFA comes to our aid on this
Vaccines mandatory for minors
Le mandatory vaccinations for minors aged between zero (3 months) and 16 years are the following:
- anti-poliomyelitica
- anti-diphtheria
- anti-tetanus
- anti-hepatitis B
- whooping cough
- anti-Haemophilus influenzae type b
- anti-measles
- anti-rubella
- anti-mumps
- anti-chickenpox
And of course they are all free.
The aforementioned vaccinations for measles, rubella, mumps and chickenpox are reviewed every 3 years, i.e. the commission meets and evaluates the progress to analyze the epidemiological data and vaccination coverage, for this reason they may become optional.
It should also be noted that the varicella vaccination became mandatory in 2017.
Optional vaccines for minors
There are also 4 optional vaccinations for minors, but they are strongly recommended and therefore a campaign is active on the same that makes them free although they are optional.
The vaccinations in question are as follows:
- anti-meningococcus B
- anti-meningococcal C
- anti-pneumococcal
- anti-rotavirus
When do the various vaccinations for minors
| Age | Vaccines |
| 3 month | Diphtheria-Tetanus Pertussis Poliomyelitis Hepatitis B Haemophilus influenza b pneumococcus Meningococcus B Rotavirus |
| 4 month | Meningococcus B |
| 5 month | Diphtheria-Tetanus Pertussis Poliomyelitis Hepatitis B Haemophilus influenza b pneumococcus Meningococcus B Rotavirus |
| 6 month | Meningococcus B |
| 7 month | Rotavirus |

Is influenza vaccination mandatory in minors?
No, but it is strongly recommended for children belonging to the so-called risk categories from the 6th month of age and not earlier.
Can I carry out vaccinations at different ages from those indicated in the calendar?
To answer this question it is necessary to make a distinction: compulsory vaccinations are, as the term says, compulsory, and this entails a crime in case of non-compliance with the vaccination obligation for the state of epidemic, while an offense for all the others. .
For example, parents who bring their children to school even though they have not had the compulsory vaccines are illegal, while access to nurseries and kindergarten in the absence of the same is forbidden.
Having made this clarification, it is possible both to "repent" and to have these vaccinations or any boosters in adulthood.
In both cases, the free service is no longer valid, therefore the vaccines require payment.
Vaccines in adults: when should boosters be made
In the adult (19-64 years old) things change, there are no compulsory vaccines or schedules, but it is advisable to carry out periodic boosters.
- Vaccine for diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis
Administration of the vaccine is recommended every 10 years. - Measles-rubella-perotitis and chickenpox vaccine
Susceptibility should be checked periodically with specific analyzes that you can request and plan together with your GP.If you are susceptible to even one of the first three, two doses of the trivalent are recommended, and two doses of the anti-varicella in case of susceptibility to the same. - Vaccine Hepatitis A and Pneumococcus
It should be administered only and exclusively to adults belonging to risk groups.
For the pneumococcal vaccine it is advisable to evaluate, together with the general practitioner, the possibility of administering a first dose with conjugate vaccine while, at least 2 months later, a dose of polysaccharide vaccine should be followed. - Flu vaccine
It absolutely is as well as warmly and unequivocally recommended to all members of risk groups, to adults over 50, to individuals of any age admitted to long-term care facilities and to family members and contacts of subjects at high risk of complications, to pregnant and postpartum women, to workers in contact with animals and blood donors.
For all others there is an ordinary recommendation: the flu vaccine significantly reduces susceptibility to seasonal flu. - Herpes Zoster vaccine
Strongly recommended for all adults over 65, it is a single dose.
