The update of the preventive activities for this year 2022 in the field of infectious diseases is of special relevance due to the importance that prevention has gained and more specifically, vaccination as a tool to control the pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus declared on March 11, 2020. The pandemic has focused much of the prevention efforts on its containment, but the importance of maintaining high vaccination coverage of the rest of the recommended vaccines to maintain good control of vaccine-preventable diseases and avoid complications in particularly vulnerable patients should not be forgotten. In this year's review we present a practical document with the aim of providing tools to primary care professionals who work with adults, to make the indication of each vaccine whether it is systematically recommended or if it is because the patient belongs to some risk group due to their condition or underlying pathology. In this way, throughout the document, we will comment on the most innovative aspects of systematic vaccination (flu, pneumococcus, meningococcal vaccines and vaccines against the human papillomavirus [HPV]), the new vaccines (pandemic vaccines against COVID-19, vaccines against herpes zoster of subunits, vaccines against monkeypox) and the recommended vaccines according to risk condition (pregnancy and lactation, travelers, patients with immunosuppression or underlying pathology).

Observational Study
[Barriers and facilitators of the EfiKroniK exercise program for people with chronic diseases in Primary Care].
Explore patients' perceptions during a supervised exercise program and detect the barriers and facilitators that influence exercise adherence after the supervision period. ⋯ A supervised exercise program carried out in Primary Care contributed to the improvement of the quality of life as well as the emotional and social well-being of patients with advanced-stage diseases. Our study identified potential barriers and facilitators associated with exercise participation and its continuity, however, it is necessary to encourage inter-sectoral coordination within the socio-health system to promote integrated and continuous care for chronic patients.

To assess the health status of the homeless population. ⋯ The homeless population presents a high burden of disease, especially for mental illness, addictions and transmissible infectious diseases. We believe that studies are necessary to evaluate the disease excess compared to the general population with its derived costs and to design new strategies to address this burden of disease and its specificity.
