Vaccines

I have found a couple of post about this, but what have vaccines cost some of you. We will be in Tampa and she may or may not be on my insurance at the time required to get the shots. If she is not I was wondering what each shot costs. We would go to the nearest clinic or health services to get them if it is the cheapest way to go.

I went to the local health department because it's way cheaper than the civil surgeon's price about 20-30 dollars difference for each vaccine.

TD - $37.00

Varicella -$110.00

MMR - $64.00

Well, my insurance could have covered it, but I had no time getting an appointment with an accredited (insurance) doctor. All I have to pay is the co-pay of $20.00. The waiting line is just too long, and so I went ahead to the health department.Ask your insurance company for the standard covered immunization of your plan.

Without health insurance the local health department is a pretty good place to start. You could also try to google it

I also live in Tampa. My wife and her daughter are from the Philippines. I went to the Health Department. My wife only needed the varicella. It is the most expensive one. I believe it was about $120. The Health Department is free for children. Our daughter has received many vaccinations there at no charge. If I were you, I would check with Dr. Zafari on West Cypress Street. He is a Civil Surgeon. They are really nice there. They transferred our vaccination records to the I693 for only $35. You will find out that most Civil Surgeons will insist upon giving the entire medical exam. I would just walk in there and ask what shots you need and how much they would charge for them and to transcribe them onto your I693 for AOS. Good luck!
