The goal of the Allergy Injection Program is is to maintain a desensitization program for students who have been started on allergy injections by their private allergist. We do require that at least the initial injection be administered at the allergist’s office. Injections are by appointment only. Students requesting to continue on an established injection program must have their private allergist provide the following:
1) Allergist orders
2) Allergy injection schedule
3) Prior reactions to injections
4) Steps to follow in event of reactions or missed doses
5) Allergy serum labeled with: patient’s name, expiration date, dilution or concentration, and contents (i.e., tree mix, environmentals, etc)This information may be sent to:
