At this visit, the nurse will review your completed forms and antigen vials to ensure we have everything we need to safely administer your allergy injections. We will not administer injections from inadequately labeled vials or if instructions are missing or incomplete. If we do not have all the required documentation; you will need to return the vials if applicable, and/or forms to your allergist for completion before allergy injections are administered.
Once your documents and antigen vials have been approved; you may then schedule subsequent appointments for the administration of your allergy injections at Student Health and Wellness.
After your initial visit, it is recommended that you schedule appointments 4 weeks in advance to ensure a routine time for your injections. Allergy injections are administered by a nurse through our Acute Care Department. There may be times when the nurse is taking care of a patient that requires urgent attention which may delay the administration of your allergy injections. For this reason schedule your appointment when you are able to wait in the health center a minimum of 40-60 minutes.
