Allergy Nurse
University Health Center nurses can give allergy injections as directed by your allergy and immunology physician. The patient’s own allergy physician will provide allergen/antigen to be given at the UHC clinic. A patient’s individual allergy extract can be stored in the Allergy Clinic and reordered by the allergy nurse as needed.
After setting up an appointment with the allergy nurse, students or staff bring their allergy extract and physicians’ orders and the last injection date (or have the extract and orders mailed) to the Allergy Clinic.
All patients must wait in the clinic for 30 minutes following their allergy injection so that they can be monitored for reactions.
To save time, all new allergy patients should fill out the Allergy Past Medical History (PMH) Form.
