A very thorough explanation of the particular shots we needed based on our travel locations and why they are recommended, presented in an extremely professional manner.
Professional and friendly. Explained everything well. No pressure and making immediate decisions. Great experience.
My appointment with Passport Health could not have been better. I was fully informed of my needs and given information to help me protect myself on the trip. Needed vaccinations were administered quickly and professionally. My visit was completed within a half hour. I was totally satisfied.
Jaime was Great! Very thorough and helpful.
The reviews here are totally misleading. This place is a scam.
First, this medical office is shared with a music teacher. This was a little confusing. The space is super old and not very clean. Doesn't make me feel comfortable getting any immunizations.
Second, be prepared to pay for parking. The parking isn't expensive but you have to know exactly how long it is going to be. And if it goes over, you have to pay the difference. On top of that, the parking attendant could not figure out how to use their credit card machine and made us late for our appointments.
Last, this place is a complete rip off. For everything the nurse told me which I had already googled beforehand was $174 for two people. There are things he couldn't discuss and was trying to upsell immunizations that we had already had as children, and didn't need again. The prices for vaccinations were ridiculous, ranging in $200-$600. The nurse claimed they were hard to find and we wouldn't be able to locate them easily. We decided to not move forward and googled in the car all the pharmacies that had the vaccines we needed. We saved $900 per person, so $1800 total.
They will INSIST that health insurance will not cover any travel vaccines, but PLEASE check with your insurance first. Because ALL of ours were at least partially covered.
My recommendation is to use the CDC website and use their recommended list of providers for vaccines. The CDC website is what Passport Health uses. Nothing else.
UPDATE: We went to the Giant Pharmacy Travel Clinic as suggested on the CDC website. They have a medical professional on staff in some locations that provide complete travel advice just as Passport Health did. The fee with Giant was $27. Insurance partially covered our vaccines EVEN IF IT WAS ELECTIVE. It ended up costing us $589 for two people, one got 3 vaccines, the other got 4. Whereas Passport Health wanted to charge us OVER $1500 each. As you can see in their response below, they STILL insist that their vaccines are hard to find and insurance won't cover it at all. But please DO YOUR RESEARCH beforehand. You will be pleasantly surprised.

This was my first time using Passport Health. Everything from booking my appointment to receiving vaccinations was easy and efficient. Staff were friendly and thoroughly explained recommendations and options.
To my knowledge, Passport Health is the only one-stop place to get travel vaccinations in Richmond. They’re familiar with what’s needed for every destination.
I was referred to Passport Health by my doctor. He said not only does his practice not stock most vaccines, but also he’d have to research which vaccines were necessary for my trip. Passport Health makes this part easy.
Passport Health is a great local resource for those traveling internationally. I 100% recommend them.
