Abstract (English): Despite progress in adult vaccination schedules, coverage rates remain suboptimal in Spain. This opinion paper, authored by a multidisciplinary group of experts, analyzes the causes and consequences of adult undervaccination, covering clinical, social, economic, and ethical aspects. Over 10 million individuals aged 65+ are targeted for vaccination, along with adults with chronic illnesses. However, coverage remains low, with significant disparities across vaccines, regions, and risk groups. The causes of the "vaccination gap" include lack of training among healthcare professionals, organizational barriers, misinformation, low-risk perception among the public, and weak institutional engagement. This situation leads to increased morbidity, mortality, and avoidable costs for the healthcare system. Universal adult vaccination could significantly reduce these burdens. The document outlines structured solutions: targeted professional training, multicomponent strategies, centralized vaccination registries, effective public awareness campaigns, improved access, and integration of vaccination across all healthcare levels. The key role of healthcare workers, patient organizations, and the media is emphasized in improving vaccination coverage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): A pesar de los avances en los calendarios de vacunación del adulto, las tasas de cobertura siguen siendo subóptimas en España. Este documento de opinión, elaborado por un grupo multidisciplinario de expertos, analiza las causas y consecuencias de la infravacunación en adultos, abordando aspectos clínicos, sociales, económicos y éticos. Más de 10 millones de personas mayores de 65 años están incluidas en las estrategias de vacunación, junto con los adultos con enfermedades crónicas. Sin embargo, la cobertura sigue siendo baja, con diferencias significativas entre vacunas, regiones y grupos de riesgo. Las causas de esta "brecha de vacunación" incluyen la falta de formación de los profesionales sanitarios, las barreras organizativas, la desinformación, la baja percepción del riesgo entre la población y el escaso compromiso institucional. Esta situación se traduce en un aumento de la morbilidad, la mortalidad y los costos evitables para el sistema sanitario. La vacunación universal del adulto podría reducir significativamente estas cargas. El documento propone soluciones estructuradas: formación específica de los profesionales, estrategias multicomponentes, registros centralizados de vacunación, campañas efectivas de sensibilización pública, mejora del acceso e integración de la vacunación en todos los niveles asistenciales. Se destaca el papel clave de los profesionales de la salud, las organizaciones de pacientes y los medios de comunicación para mejorar la cobertura vacunal. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
