It is recommended that populations at risk and elderly 65 years of age and over receive a dose of 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) followed, 8 weeks later, by a dose of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PCV23). In the present state of knowledge, the CSMI recommends a PPV23 recall only in people at risk, who are recalled every 5 years. Children at risk of invasive pneumococcal infection are also affected by this recommendation: in the absence of previous vaccination with PCV13, catch-up is indicated.

Given the resurgence of measles, all adults born after 1980 who have not received two doses of measles, mumps and rubella vaccines should recall the MMR vaccine
Females only
Catch-up on HPV if not yet done (13-18 years)
