Travel vaccines
I am looking for recommendations for a clinic to take my 17 year old son for vaccines he needs for travel to Asia this summer - specially typhoid and malaria. We have insurance but it own't cover this.

AITC Travel Clinic & Immunizations, 101 Grove Street, Suite 102, in the Civic center. Exceptionally well run and worth the trip (pun intended)!
I have lived in Asia for 7+ years and travelled extensively in most parts. Malaria vaccines and/or pills/treatments aren't necessary, provided you travel with a good bug repellant (like Parakitos wrist bands, clothing stickers, or the like.) Typhoid Vaccine is probably a good idea, but, sorry, I can't recommend a discounted place to get one. But if you go to YELP for Bay Area and type in "Travel Vaccinations", a list of clinics does come up, including the Berkeley Free Clinic.
