When you receive your travel report, SafeGard will also email your pharmacy about your recommended shots and medications. You can then schedule an appointment with your pharmacy to get whatever shots or prescriptions you’ll need. Although the consultation costs $39.99 with a Costco membership, the immunizations and medications are extra. You should check with your insurance to see which ones are covered. However, Costco’s Member Prescription Program offers discounted pricing for many prescriptions.
The travel immunization program through Costco is only available in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Maryland, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin. Some states restrict the program to people over 18. The program will only dispense medications and shots at Costco pharmacy, which means you can’t use another pharmacy if you purchase this program through Costco. A primary care physician’s approval of oral medications is required for some states, but a Costco pharmacy can call your provider for this approval.
