If you are in Barcelona and need routine boosters or travel vaccinations, the route depends on the jab. Routine vaccines usually go through your CAP, while travel-specific ones, especially yellow fever, go through Sanitat Internacional or an authorised private centre.

Plan early if you can. Some vaccines need to be given weeks before departure, and yellow fever centres can book up in summer. If anything is urgent or unclear, call 061 or 112, or speak to your GP. Vaccination timing should always be confirmed by a clinician for your own itinerary.

For routine jabs, CatSalut-registered patients can usually get boosters through their CAP nurse. That includes tetanus boosters, hepatitis A and B for adults at risk, MMR catch-up doses, HPV catch-up under certain ages, and the seasonal flu jab in autumn. Most are free at the point of use under the public schedule. The full Catalan calendar is published by [Canal Salut](https://canalsalut.gencat.cat/?ref=barna.news).

Children’s routine vaccinations, including the hexavalent, MMR and meningococcal vaccines, are also delivered through the CAP paediatric team at no charge. If you are not yet CatSalut-registered, private clinics such as [Centro Médico Teknon](https://www.teknon.es/?ref=barna.news) and the Sanitas Milenium centres can provide routine jabs for a fee, plus the cost of the vaccine.

For travel vaccinations, Catalonia uses designated Centres de Vacunació Internacional under Sanitat Internacional. The main Barcelona centre is the state Sanitat Exterior one at Carrer de Bergara 12, a minute from Plaça Catalunya, and there are further units at Drassanes (Carrer de Sant Oleguer 17), the Hospital Clínic on Carrer de Casanova and the Hospital del Mar in Barceloneta. [Canal Salut](https://canalsalut.gencat.cat/ca/vida-saludable/lleure-seguretat/viatges/centres-vacunals-salut-internacional/index.html?ref=barna.news) lists them all. You book with the centre itself, give your itinerary, and it tells you which jabs are recommended before you travel.

Bring your TSI or CIP, passport, itinerary, vaccination record, and any prescriptions you take. Charges depend on the trip. Some vaccines are charged when the travel is not medically essential. At the public traveller units the consultation runs about €35 to €41, and the yellow fever jab itself about €20 to €23, with a consultation and vaccine bundled at roughly €55 to €63\. Other vaccines vary widely, and rabies courses run into the low hundreds.

Yellow fever vaccination must be done at an authorised centre that can issue the international yellow card recognised at borders. In Catalonia, that means Sanitat Internacional and a small number of accredited private centres. Your CAP cannot provide the certificate. A single dose now gives lifelong protection for most people, and for travel to most yellow-fever-endemic countries the certificate becomes valid 10 days after vaccination.

The standard travel jab list depends on where you are going and what you will be doing, but it often includes hepatitis A, hepatitis B, tetanus, typhoid, yellow fever, rabies pre-exposure, Japanese encephalitis, cholera and meningitis ACWY. The consultation should be tailored to your age, medical history and itinerary, so do not rely on a generic checklist.

Rabies after an animal bite is a medical emergency. Wash the wound under running water with soap for at least 15 minutes, then go straight to a public hospital emergency department, such as [Hospital del Mar](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Hospital+del+Mar+Barcelona&ref=barna.news), [Hospital Clínic](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Hospital+Clinic+Barcelona&ref=barna.news), [Hospital Sant Pau](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Hospital+Sant+Pau+Barcelona&ref=barna.news) or [Vall d'Hebron](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Hospital+Vall+d%27Hebron+Barcelona&ref=barna.news). Do not wait for a CAP appointment. If you are already abroad, your travel insurance helpline should direct you to a recognised rabies clinic, and you can continue the course on return through Sanitat Internacional or your CAP.
