  Introduction: Childhood vaccination is the main goal in the vaccine preventable diseases, acting individually and providing herd immunity. In addition to routine vaccines, there are vaccines that are recommended for use in pediatric patients, including pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV), varicella, and rotavirus, which in most of the communities are not funded by public health services. The aim of this study is to determine the evolution of the PCV, varicella and rotavirus immunization coverage after their recommendation.
  Material and methods: Descriptive, cross sectional retrospective study of all the no systematic immunization records in the pediatric medical visits of children born between 1999-2008 in La Flecha, Valladolid.
  Results: The total number of children vaccination cards reviewed from those born between January 1st, 1999 and December 31st, 2008 were 1339. 916 (68.4%; IC95: 65,8-70,9) received some dose of PVC, and 635 (69.3%) received the complete 4 dosis. Of the newborns of 1999, 5.9% received a dose of PVC compared to 95.9% of those born in 2008. 646 were vaccinated against varicella (48.2%), 4.4% of the newborns of 1999, compared to 78.6% of those born in 2008. 563 rotavirus cards were reviewed, 248 (44%) were vaccinated.
