The Comunitat Valenciana has organized its autumn flu and COVID-19 vaccination drive into three phases, each with its own start date for different groups of people, according to Levante-EMV. The regional campaign divides the population into priority categories that will be invited for shots at staggered times rather than all at once.
Levante-EMV reports that the rollout is structured around three distinct dates, one per group. The outlet did not specify in the headline summary which groups fall into each phase or the exact calendar dates involved.
The approach reflects a broader push across Spain to begin respiratory virus immunization in late September. According to castellonaldia.elmundo.es, the national health ministry starts vaccination against respiratory viruses on September 28. The Xunta de Galicia has also announced it will launch its own flu and COVID campaign on the same date, expanding school-based vaccination and reinforcing protection for people over 65, according to the regional government.
Coverage from abc.es describes the wider campaign focus as schools and adults over 65. Separately, lavozdegalicia.es reports that a high-dose flu vaccine has been extended to the 65-to-69 age group, widening the pool of older adults eligible for the stronger formulation.
For the Comunitat Valenciana, the practical question now is which residents fall into each of the three phases and when their invitations or appointments will arrive. Watch for the regional health department to publish the full calendar and group definitions ahead of the first phase.
