The revaccination for prevention of tuberculosis and the Mantoux skin test for 11-year-olds are dropped out of the obligatory calendar. The pneumococcal vaccine for children up to 6 months of age is reduced from 3 to 2 doses. For children 12 years of age, whooping cough revaccination is introduced.
