Is there a place in Kunming to get vaccinated?
neither the hospitals and the centre for disease do
them seemingly. Looking for hepatitis A, typhoid, and a tetanus booster.
any idea?

What about the international clinic?
Surprised about this. I had these vaccinations and boosters done at a university campus clinic, albeit a few years ago. Had to wait a few days for vaccine delivery but otherwise no fuss, no issues. Getting a 'no' on first request doesn't always mean it can't be done. Ask a different person in a different way sometimes works; "I need help......"
The international clinic where you get your health check for the visa do all this.
Ri Xin Road underground station, beside the river.
We were told to "buy" vaccines from a pharmacy, in preparation for a birth. When we presented the vaccines to the hospital (same doctor), the hospital rejected our vaccines as they "could not verify" the vaccine source - which seriously p'd me off (¥600 wasted). So we tried to return the vaccines - which of course, also failed as they could not verify the returned vaccines had not been tampered with (makes sense, but irritating nevertheless).

Get the hospital/clinic to order them for you.
TO VAGUELY ANSWER YOUR QUESTION
I'm not sure about the typhoid and tetanus boosters, but the hep vaccine (gamma globulin - not sure which flavor of hep that's for) should be available from most clinics - you just need to prepay, then come back about a week later, once the vaccine(s) is/are delivered.
If you're a foreigner, some will turn you away with an arbitrary made up excuse, just in case something goes "wrong" or they don't know how to process the records with long foreigner names & passport #s (just pad the number with leading zeroes so the total number of digits is the same as Chinese ID cards - typically 18 digits).
My wife uses the local tiny clinics around where we live for kiddie vaccinations - after that experience with the big baby hospital. Turns out the hospital could have ordered the vaccine for us - so we highly suspect the physician who directed us to buy the vaccine off-site was doing something not quite normal or ethical.
As @nnoble mentioned, if you work for a university - they usually have their own clinics & hospitals, so have your office staff help you arrange vaccinations there - less overhead and complications...
Good info. Thank you for replies.
