Cheap Shots in NYC?

Most cost-effective vaccinations in New York City?
I am going to central Africa in a month. I have been advised to be vaccinated / immunized against, at a minimum: Yellow Fever, Diptheria-Tetanus, Typhoid, and Hepatitus A, in addition to taking malaria medication.
I sought out a place in NYC that gives these shots, and was quoted a price averaging about $100 per vaccination.
Is there a more cost effective way to do this?
I have no insurance and no general practicioner.

I am not in the US, but just as an anecdote, this is a similar price for those vaccinations in the UK - just had them all done myself for Africa travel.
You could see if there is a teaching hospital specialising in tropical diseases or travel, it may be slightly cheaper.
Make sure the Diptheria Tetanus booster also includes Polio.
