Going to Cartagena in June for about a week.

I've heard I can get a yellow fever jab pretty inexpensively there.

(don't need it for this trip but would like to get it out of the way for future adventures. Last one has long since expired...)

Anyone know where I can get one? I know it will be cheaper than at home.

Thanks amigos.

You can go to a "centro de la salud" and get it for free. I did this in Taganga last year and still feel fine...

Make sure it's an accredited vaccination clinic, and the vaccine is not expired and has been stored appropriately (many require refrigeration).

The Red Cross is a good choice.

Don't cut corners on your health just to save a couple bucks.

Red Cross it is then.
Thanks for the input - I'll certainly check vaccine expiration date.
