Allergy Shots

Students may receive allergy shots while in school. They are administered weekdays by appointment. Students must provide their own allergy serum with vials  labeled with student's name, serum contents, and expiration date.

Students are also responsible for providing detailed instructions from the prescribing physician. The information must include dosage schedules with directions for reactions and overdue or missed injections. UHCS can provide refrigeration for serum.

A student must have an appointment with a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant to review the prescibing physician's instructions and plan of care, prior to scheduling an appointment with a nurse to administer the allergy shot.

There is a $10 charge for the administration of an allergy shot. This charge may be paid by HUSKY CARD at UHCS or in cash at the Cashier' Office prior the student's appointment.
