SHS does not initiate immunotherapy. Students must receive their first allergy extract injection under the direct supervision of their private allergist. The Student Health Services physician must be in the office when allergy injections are administered. Students will not be given allergy injections during these times or at any time that a physician is not immediately available. Students must wait in the office for 20 - 30 minutes after an allergy injection for observation and treatment of possible reactions.
Students are responsible for re-ordering allergy extracts from their private allergist.
Students must arrange for delivery of their extracts to their home address or pick up their extracts at their allergist's office. Student Health Services does not accept delivery of any extracts.
