Resum
Typhoid fever is an infectious disease related to access to drinking water, therefore, it is a disease of marked social character and closely linked to crises and economic inequalities. The social orientation of the health policies of the Second Republic deals with typhoid fevers through preventive legislation, which, above all, addresses the problem of access to drinking water in the rural world. This article tries to synthesize the responses of the republican State against an endemic problem in the field of biopolitics andfocuses its main object of study in the field of preventive legislative strategies, which, by 1936, achieved a drastic reduction in mortality from typhoid fever. The Civil War is a critical context in which the government installed in Barcelona will establish mandatory vaccination against typhoid fever for the first time since November 1937.
