MANES PRADAS, J.P.  and  LAZARO ALVAREZ, J. Vaccinations in the Air Force (2005 y 2011). Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2013, vol.69, n.2, pp.112-115. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1887-85712013000200009.

Vaccination practices are the most effective preventive measures to prevent the emergence and spread of a number of infectious diseases. This led us to undertake a study about the vaccination activities in the Spanish Air Force during the last five years, taking into account the military immunization schedule. A comparison between data concerning the different types and numbers of vaccines asked for and the number of doses administered in accordance with official reports is made. Deviation between these figures is studied from the point of view of its causes: Cost of vaccination of the Spanish Air Force military personnel and its evolution in recent years; Administered doses in the different medical facilities; Season and N1H1 flu vaccination data are given. The approximate percentage of vaccinated Spanish Air Force personnel is determined.
