• Castilla y León launches shots in residences, disability centers, pregnant women and children up to 8 on October 1, opens general appointments October 14, broadens RSV protection to high‑risk groups and sets COVID boosters generally for those 70+.
• Castilla y León budgets more than €18 million for the 2025–26 campaign, expects over 408,000 COVID doses from the national supply and has acquired 13,000 RSV doses for infant immunization.
• Health services are shifting delivery to primary‑care centers with SMS/app scheduling and home visits for immobilized patients, retiring large mass‑vaccination sites used in prior seasons.
