Serological Vulnerability and Active Infection Detection Among Recently Arrived Migrants in Spain: Results from a Targeted Screening Program
This study highlights substantial immunization gaps and the presence of undiagnosed infections in vulnerable migrant populations. Centralized and culturally adapted screening programs, combined with accelerated vaccination strategies, are feasible and effective. These findings support the integration of structured protocols into national health systems to ensure equity, reduce transmission risk, and align with WHO and ECDC public health frameworks.
