**RIPPLE COMMENT** According to Al Jazeera (recognized source), Spain has launched an investigation after it was discovered that 253 children received expired vaccines, mostly in the Basque region (Al Jazeera, 2026). The incident has sparked concerns about the potential impact on the mental health of these young patients. The causal chain begins with the direct cause: expired vaccines were administered to 253 children. This could lead to a loss of trust in medical professionals and healthcare systems among this age group. Intermediate steps include the possibility that some children may experience anxiety, stress, or other emotional distress due to the knowledge of receiving potentially ineffective or hazardous vaccinations. In the short-term (weeks to months), these effects might manifest as increased anxiety levels or avoidance behaviors towards medical appointments. Long-term (months to years), this incident could contribute to a more significant decline in trust and an increase in mental health issues among affected children. The domains affected by this incident include Youth Mental Health, Healthcare, and Public Trust in Institutions. Evidence Type: Event Report Uncertainty: - The extent of the long-term effects on the mental health of these children is uncertain. - Depending on the outcome of the investigation, further measures might be taken to address potential harm or distrust among young patients. If... then... the impact on youth mental health could be mitigated.
