I searched for a previous thread on the topic of travel vaccines and their cost and found none. So, I thought it might be helpful to share some info based on a recent personal experience.
DW & I will be in Morocco for 2 months next Jan-Feb as part of a long-term travel itinerary. For extended stays like ours in Morocco, the CDC recommends the Hep A and Typhus vaccines. Shared this with my PCP during yesterday's annual wellness exam and he concurred along with providing contact information for 2 "travel health clinics" in our area.
The travel health clinics charge a $115 office visit fee on top of another $225 for the Hep A & oral Typhus vaccines for a total of $340. $680 out the door for both of us!
Made a phone to call to our local Costco and their pharmacy will do both vaccines for $115. $230 out the door for us both. It pays to shop around.
