AITC Immunization & Travel Clinic

The AITC clinic is a *model* for how other health clinics should be run!!!!  These folks are cheerful, sincerely helpful, knowledgable, efficient and the atmosphere of the clinic is very positive.  I came for a TB test, no appointment necessary, and I was seen about 5 minutes after I walked in the door (4 minutes of which were spent filling out a few forms as it was my first visit).

One tip if you need to get a "two-step" TB test (one test followed by a second repeat test 1-3 weeks later):  this would normally involve 4 visits (once to place the TB test and a second visit 48-72 hours later to read the TB test, and then the whole thing all over again 2 week later).  You can instead opt for the "QuantiferonTB-Gold" test which is a single blood test that does not require a return visit to read.  So, one visit rather than four!

Thanks AITC for the service you provide to our community, I will be recommending you to everyone.

What a great service that the city and county of San Francisco offers at the public health department. You don't need to be a resident of the City either.

International travel vaccines and shots typically aren't covered by medical insurance plans so why not just come to a travel clinic. Established in 1999. It's located across the street from City Hall.

Hubby and I made an appointment over the phone. Downloaded the PDF forms online beforehand.  Checked in at the front counter and took a seat.  Robbie was our nurse.  So friendly, warm, and definitely knowledgeable.  She put us at ease.  Did her fact finding and gave us the pros and cons and any side effects you might experience from the shot(s).  And she's an expert at giving shots.

The cost of the shots and vaccines are itemized.  And you can get prescriptions issued to your local pharmacy.  Visa, MasterCard or cash transactions.

The travel clinic sells salt tablets and bug repellent for your convenience also.

It's a great place to come for flu shots, vaccines, TB screening, immunizations, etc.
