My insurance doesn't cover travel medicine either. Explain your cost concerns to the clinic. The oral vaccine for typhoid is only a few dollars and they can give it to you with instructions for taking it at home. That's what I did. $70 for typhoid injections is just way out of line when there is a cheaper alternative that works just as well. My friend on the same trip got "stuck" with the jabs. I think he dressed a bit too prosperously when he showed up at the clinic.
