## Summary

WHO's immunization data record HPV vaccine as introduced in Spain in 2007. In the 2025 data the introduction is recorded as nationwide and the country reports a one-dose schedule. The routine schedule reported to WHO for 2025 gives two doses of bivalent or nine-valent or quadrivalent vaccine to girls and boys at age 12, the later dose 6 months after the previous dose. The country's note in the WHO schedule table reads: "2, 4, 9 valent vaccines administered; females only at 12 yrs or 6th grade (regions that immunize at school) -since 2023 in males too-". WHO also lists additional doses for risk groups or catch-up cohorts in the same table. For hepatitis B vaccine, WHO records the birth dose as given to risk groups only in 2025.
