We’ve done quite a bit of research into what vaccinations we wanted to have before going on our trip (Vaccination wiki page here). Additionally we did even more research about where the cheapest travel clinics are in the Bay Area (comparison spreadsheet here). It turned out that by far, the cheapest place to go was in Amy’s home town of Steamboat Springs, CO, where she would be visiting for a few days. That was great for her, but I still needed to find a place to get my vaccines locally. I knew that I only needed to get a Tetanus shot and the Typhoid Vaccine, thus I didn’t really want to pay any consultation fees.

Then I found the Safeway Travel Clinic (not just at SF Safeways). They were able to give me those two vaccines without having to pay a $40 consultation fee. Even better, I could get everything done during my routine grocery shopping without having to make an appointment.

The Typhoid Vaccine (injection version) was $73.99 and the Tetanus (Tdap) shot was $59.99. Those prices were a few dollars more than the competition, but without the consultation fee it still came in less than anywhere else in town. I would highly recommend the Safeway travel clinic if you know exactly what you’re looking for.
