Basque Health Service Audits 170,000 2025 Vaccinations as Expired-Dose Probe Widens

A newly appointed committee led by quality chief David Cantero will pinpoint traceability failures to set corrective measures.

Overview

  • Osakidetza is reviewing nearly 170,000 non‑COVID and non‑flu vaccinations from 2025 to identify any additional expired administrations.
  • About 30 people have been confirmed to have received expired doses and are being revaccinated.
  • An AEMPS determination that the implicated lot remained valid one month beyond its label cut the initial count from 253 to roughly 30.
  • A further 78 potential cases tied to MMR and tetravalent vaccines are under verification, with patients being contacted for record checks and revaccination if needed.
  • Most incidents cluster in Gipuzkoa clinics in Errenteria and Donostia, and Health Minister Alberto Martínez has assumed political responsibility while saying revaccination should be completed by Monday.
