Are there less expensive sources for yellow-fever vaccinations?

Because the question seems to be very popular, I wrote up what we ended up doing.

No, there is no cheaper source within the US.

If you have any travel to another country, be it Europe, the Bahamas, South America, or Canada, get it there.

We ended up calling the whole list provided by the CDC, for 500 miles around us, and picked a spot about 2 hour drive away, as the overall cost of driving plus getting vaccinated were the minimum. Our appointment was on Saturday morning, and we combined it with some sightseeing; overall, we paid $205 per person; including all ‘incidental costs’ (they all charge extra for the ‘doctors visit’ itself, the verbal ‘instruction session’, plus the ‘qualified execution’ of the vaccination).

I think there is no better alternative currently.

No, there isn’t a cheaper source for the yellow fever vaccine in the US as of 2018. You may try traveling to Canada or Mexico for a cheaper option, although the cost of travel might be higher than the savings on the vaccine in this case.
