Allergy Guidelines

• Allergy injections will be given during regular clinic hours when a physician is present (8am - 4:30pm, Monday - Friday).  During Summer hours, a physician is not available from 12 - 1 p.m..  Therefore, shots will not be given during that time.

• Refrigerated storage space is available in the allergy clinic. Make sure name and I.D. number is on your extract.

• Allergy injections cannot be given without written instructions from the allergist that prescribed the allergen. Check-in at the front desk and you will be directed to the allergy clinic. The nurse will review your protocol and set up a medical record for you.

• A 20 minute observation period is required after each injection. No exceptions will be made. An additional observation period may be necessary if a reaction occurs.

• Reactions: Local reactions (redness, swelling, soreness) will be treated by the allergy nurse or physician. Any serious reaction will be treated by a physician and orders must be received from the patient's allergist before further injections will be given.

• Charges: One injection...$15.00   Two or more... $20.00*.  You may be interested in the Student Health Insurance policy.
