Until 1990, the immunization policy against hepatitis B in Spain was selective high-risk vaccination. That policy failed to reduce the incidence of hepatitis B and the prevalence rates of chronic carriers. In 1991, Catalonia began a universal immunization programme targeted at 12-year-olds. Six other regions (Castilla-León, Valencia, Extramadura, Navarra, the Balearic Islands and Rioja) introduced vaccination programmes in 1992. In 1993, three more regions (Galicia, Castilla-La-Mancha and Pais Vasco) began immunizing young adolescents. This means that 12-year-olds in Spain are now included in vaccination programmes against hepatitis B.
直到1990年,西班牙的乙肝免疫政策还是针对高危人群的选择性疫苗接种。该政策未能降低乙肝发病率和慢性携带者的患病率。1991年,加泰罗尼亚开始针对12岁儿童实施全民免疫计划。其他六个地区(卡斯蒂利亚-莱昂、巴伦西亚、埃斯特雷马杜拉、纳瓦拉、巴利阿里群岛和里奥哈)于1992年推出了疫苗接种计划。1993年,又有三个地区(加利西亚、卡斯蒂利亚-拉曼恰和巴斯克地区)开始对青少年进行免疫接种。这意味着西班牙的12岁儿童现在已被纳入乙肝疫苗接种计划。
