Your vaccination centre: immunisation under medical supervision
Prevention is undoubtedly the most powerful tool in modern medicine. Keeping our vaccination schedule up to date is not just a requirement or a formality for travelling, it is the most effective way to protect our quality of life and that of those around us.
At Turó Park Clinics, we understand that preventive healthcare is not an administrative process, but an investment in your peace of mind. As an internationally renowned medical centre, we combine the clinical expertise of infectious disease specialists with a patient-centred care model. Here, we don't just administer vaccines, we design epidemiological shields tailored to your lifestyle, medical history and travel destination.
Bexsero (Meningitis B) vaccine available
We have Bexsero in stock while supplies remain limited in the UK. Appointment with a GP · Full vaccination included · Total: €240 · By prior appointment only.
How do vaccines work?
Vaccination is a way of protecting people against the development of certain infectious diseases caused by microbes (bacteria or viruses). It works by stimulating the natural response of the immune system through the following steps:
Controlled Exposure
The vaccine introduces a weakened, fragmented or inactive form of the pathogen into the body. As it is not a functional infectious agent, it cannot cause the disease in the patient.
Immune response
The body identifies these foreign substances (antigens) and activates the production of antibodies, specific proteins designed to neutralise the external agent.
Memory generation
After exposure, the immune system generates memory cells. These cells "record" the characteristics of the pathogen so that they can act more quickly in the future.
Acquired immunity
If you come into contact with the pathogen, your immune system immediately recognises it and produces antibodies, preventing the infection from progressing and the disease from manifesting itself.
International Vaccination: Health and prevention abroad
Preparing for international travel requires a proper health assessment. Depending on the destination, the body may be exposed to pathogens (viruses and bacteria) that are not present in our usual environment.
→ Prevention against Dengue
The incidence of dengue fever has increased globally in recent years, affecting both rural and urban areas. We now have advanced preventive options such as the Qdenga vaccine, recommended for travellers to endemic areas (such as Southeast Asia or Latin America), regardless of whether they have previously had the disease.
→ Common infections
In destinations with limited sanitation conditions, the risk of infection through water or food is high. Immunisation is key to avoiding serious complications during your stay abroad.
- Typhoid fever: We administer the injectable version of this vaccine. It is an excellent option for travellers who need fast and reliable protection against Salmonella Typhi bacteria with a single dose.
- Cholera: Particularly recommended for areas with active outbreaks or humanitarian aid, it is administered orally.
- Hepatitis A and B: These protect liver function and are essential in most international destinations.

Child Vaccination
Compliance with the vaccination schedule is a public health priority. For those who have started immunisation in other countries, we adjust schedules to ensure continuous protection without intervals of vulnerability.
We offer immunisation against the different serogroups of meningococcus (B, A, W, and Y), which is essential for preventing serious invasive diseases and bacterial meningitis.
We optimise the immunisation process by protecting against six pathogens in a single application: diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type B.
Recommended for both girls and boys to drastically reduce the risk of cancer and associated injuries in adulthood.
The pneumococcal conjugate vaccine protects against serious infections such as pneumonia and bacteraemia from 6 weeks of age.
Protects children and adolescents against measles, mumps, rubella, and the varicella-zoster virus, ensuring active and long-lasting immunity.
We administer the oral vaccine (live attenuated virus) to protect infants against severe gastroenteritis, preventing dehydration from diarrhoea and vomiting.
Specific injectable guidelines for newborns, children, and adolescents, ensuring liver protection against all known subtypes of the virus.
Why get vaccinated at Turó Park Clinics?
Unlike other centres, we have an integrated Infectious Diseases Unit.
- Expert Advice: Guidelines supervised by infectious disease specialists according to your immune status.
- Complex Pathology Management: Safe plans for patients with chronic diseases or who are immunocompromised.
- Post-Travel Diagnosis: High precision tests (malaria, dengue, STIs) if you return with symptoms.
Immunisation in Adults: Prevention of Chronic Complications
With ageing, the immune system undergoes a process of immunosenescence, reducing its ability to respond. Vaccination in adults aims to prevent common infections from leading to serious complications or chronic pain.
Herpes zoster, commonly known as "shingles", is the reactivation of the chickenpox virus that remains dormant in the body. We administer the recombinant Shingrix vaccine, currently the gold standard due to its extremely high efficacy.
- Indications: It is especially indicated for the prevention of both shingles and postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), a chronic and debilitating nerve pain. Recommended for adults aged 50 and over, and for those over 18 who are at increased risk of the disease due to underlying health conditions.
Protecting the respiratory tract is vital, especially in patients with chronic conditions such as asthma, diabetes or heart disease, where a viral infection can destabilise their general health.
- Seasonal flu: We offer the latest dose, adapted to the variations in viral strains each season.
- Pneumococcus: Provides robust defence against bacterial pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis, drastically reducing hospitalisation rates.
For patients who need to certify that they have not been exposed to tuberculosis bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), at Turó Park Clinics we offer the most advanced diagnostic alternative to the classic Mantoux test: Quantiferon-TB Gold.
- Advantages: Unlike the skin test (PPD), Quantiferon is a more accurate blood test that is not affected by prior BCG vaccination.
- Procedure: This test is carried out in direct collaboration with our reference laboratory, Teletest, from Monday to Thursday. It is a frequent requirement for visa applications (USA, Australia, Canada), occupational health protocols or prior to the start of immunosuppressive treatment.
