The Vaccine Center

I didn’t go, but the phone call to book the appointment was weird. The receptionist had to read off a script and explain to me the charges involved in a way that made me think they were covering their asses legally.
He said I’d have a consultation and that the doctor would decide the vaccines I’d need. It would be possible that I’d have to come in again, even. When I asked if I’d be able to get a specific vaccine that I knew I needed, he said, «If they decide that you need it.» What does that mean? That they’ll make me schedule another $ 79 appointment? That they’ll push more vaccines on me to charge me extra $? They also needed a credit card in case I cancelled, which the place I ended up going with didn’t need.
I haven’t been there, but I would say they need to do some work on their image, considering they’ve only been around since 2014 and their reviews are not the best.

It was a pleasure coming here to get vaccinations needed for school. From the moment I walked in, I was kindly greeted and met with smiling faces. Easy breezy process jumping on a computer to fill out a self health history sort of log, your name is called in no time at all.
(FYI, I really appreciated your kindness and smiles as my health hasn’t been too good, only casting a dark cloud over me for sometime now)
Had I gone to the doctor 5 minutes away from home, I would have spent over $ 50 for my TB. By coming here, I spent around $ 20. How could one not appreciate the savings when you’re a student or simply going through tough times and tight on money.
Do tell friends & family! You’re doing yourself a favor coming here. I’m grateful a friend shared this center with me.
Heads up, it’s MUCH easier getting here via train or bus as driving here will force you to spend at least $ 20 or more parking in a garage depending on your time spent at the center and/​or the time you come in for services.

I needed to get a work physical and find out about vaccinations for travel. I also wanted to find out if I should carry an epipen when visiting remote wilderness because I’ve had bad reactions (rarely) to animals and to insect bites. I called in advance and asked if all this could be done in one appointment and how much would it cost.
1. They charge a lot of money for what I ended up getting.
2. They did not help with vaccinations. I only saw a nurse practitioner. They barely discussed the vaccinations with me, so I really not sure if there are a couple that I need.
3. They put an epipen restriction on my work physical (the place I’m least likely to need it) and they couldn’t write a prescription for it.
So now I have to make at least one new appointment and maybe two by the end of today. Should have gone to the CVS minute clinic, at least it would have been cheaper.
