New Patients
All new incoming allergy patients should start the process by contacting the Allergy, Immunization and Travel (AIT) department. The AIT staff will explain our services, facilitate the approval process through your off-campus allergist and collaborate with a Student Health primary care physician for approval to receive your injections on campus.
This process must be completed prior to the administration of any allergy injections. You will then be scheduled for an Allergy Injection Initial Visit in which you will receive your injections.
First Doses
We do not administer first dose allergy injections when starting immunotherapy treatment. Your first dose must be given at your allergist's office.
Bring In Your Own Serum
You must bring in your own allergy serum, which must be mixed and prescribed by your allergist.
