**The prices listed below are prices of January 31, 2025. The vaccine companies increase their prices of the vaccines any time during the  year without advanced notice (usually in January). We have no choice but to increase our prices.  The prices of vaccines are not cheap but remember usually only one or two comapnies manufacture the vaccines and we are at their mercy.  Yellow fever vaccine is only manufactured by one company.   If at any time I order a vaccine and the price has been increased by the vaccine  company, I will have to increase my price to the patient with little or no warning even if I do not have time to show the increase on this web site.**
