Passport Health

Do NOT waste your money going to Passport Health. They charge a ridiculous fee they do not tell you about ($ 60 for one person, $ 40 for the subsequent person) and all they do is read directly off the CDC website. Google «CDC yellow book» and you will pull up the exact information they tell you. It is criminal charging that amount of money for information from a free public health website. Then make an appointment at your PCP’s office and ask them to prescribe what the CDC recommends. I feel completely deceived that I was not told about this fee upfront or that they don’t accept any health insurance.
The nurse there was very nice, honest and upfront about the pricing. No complaints about him whatsoever, but this company I think is a ripoff.

They are a life saver. I booked a trip to Peru and needed immunization shots on short notice. My doctors and other clinics were booked full for the following month and when I called up passport health, they set me up with an appointment right away the same week.
The whole process was painless and efficient. Consultation, medication, and immunization all done within an hour. We went over the list of immunizations that’s required and recommended, which helped me in making decisions as to what I should take. The information was comprehensive and thorough, which helped us in choosing the best medical kits to help with altitude sickness and potential traveler’s sickness.
Fantastic service.

When your regular doctor’s office is out of yellow fever vaccine, these guys get the job done.
They offer a full range of vaccines and are knowledgeable about what you need when traveling to different parts of the world. They can answer questions and tell you pros/​cons of the vaccines that are optional.
Check with your insurance first; I needed a referral but then it was covered.

I was unable to get the Shingles vaccine in Boston because it needs to be refrigerated.
The Merck Company referred me to Passport Health, Woburn (617 418‑3675) where I received the vaccine and excellent care.

Julie at Passport Health is absolutely amazing! I went yesterday to get my needed shots before traveling to China this summer. She really took the time to genuinely let me know what shots I need and which ones I could live without… not forcing unneeded costs my direction. More so, I left with an entire book customized to health concerns I should be aware of in China!!! After leaving, I feel completely comfortable about entering China and well-​prepared for any health issues because of Passport Health. Julie’s one-​on-​one personal attention deserves 5 stars by itself!
The cozy office is nestled close to Inman Square and really has a welcoming feeling that no hospital could even compare to. I paid out of pocket for the shots which were reasonably priced but will get reimbursed by my insurance provider. The place is extremely accommodating… I called the day before and was able to be squeezed in. Many kudos to Passport Health!
