  While a measles vaccine cannot be administered over video, your doctor can evaluate and advise you or your child from your home in Amherst. They can discuss your travel plans, recommend and order necessary vaccinations, and book immunization appointments via telemedicine.

• How much does a measles vaccine cost in Amherst?

  Without insurance, an MMR vaccine will typically cost around $100. This does not include consultation with your general practitioner to advise whether or not you need the measles vaccine.

• Is a measles vaccine covered by my insurance?

  Measles vaccines are generally covered by health insurance. If your insurance covers the MMR vaccine, you will typically be responsible for a copay of anywhere from $0 to $90.

• Are video visits with measles vaccine clinics covered by my insurance?

  Telemedicine vaccine consultation coverage will vary depending on your circumstances. Typically, if your insurance will not cover an in-person visit, it won’t cover similar appointments via telehealth. Since consultations for measles vaccines are often covered by insurance, it is likely that a video visit will be similarly covered.
