Cost

All immunizations require immediate payment by cash, credit card, or check. The clinic does not process travel immunizations costs through insurance as they are not covered by most plans. Patients can request a receipt if they would like to file with their insurance company.

Immunizations offered

Travel immunizations are the best form of protection from serious diseases. If you’re pregnant or have a chronic medical condition such as asthma, diabetes, or epilepsy, be sure to consult your provider prior to departure.
