There are no health risks associated with travel to Spain, and
no vaccination certificates are required for entry. Bird flu was
first detected in a dead bird in July 2006, and although there is
little risk to travellers, close contact with live birds should be
avoided and all poultry products well cooked as a precaution. No
human deaths or infections have been reported. Spain has a
reciprocal health agreement with most EU countries, including the
UK, providing emergency health care on the same terms as Spanish
nationals. EU travellers should take a European Health Insurance
Card (EHIC). Note that the scheme gives no entitlement to medical
repatriation costs, nor does it cover ongoing illnesses of a
non-urgent nature, so comprehensive travel insurance is
advised.
