We administer allergy
injections Monday - Friday, 8:00am to 4:30pm. We can store your antigen
and receive refill prescriptions. We use our supplies to administer the
injections.
Q. Do I have to have an appointment to get an
allergy injection?
Yes, allergy injections are by appointment only. To set
up an appointment please call the appointment line at (979) 458-8250. Please
plan to arrive for your appointment 20 minutes before your scheduled time.
After the injection is administered, you will be required to stay for 20
minutes and be measured before leaving.
Q. How do I order an allergy
injection?
The allergy injections may be ordered by a Health Center
physician or an outside physician. (Allergy testing is not
performed at the health center). Students must have a signed physician
order and the antigen for the injection. These items can be brought in by
the student or mailed in by their doctor. No injections will be
given until the order is received and accepted.

Q. Are there any medical restrictions?
Allergy injections are not given to students who are
taking MAO inhibitors because we would not be able to be given
epinephrine if needed.
Q. How much do allergy
injections cost?
The current cost for an allergy injection is $5.00 for one
and $10.00 for two. However, prices are subject to change without
notice.
Q. How do I pick up my vaccine?
Can I have it mailed to me?
Vaccines must be picked up before leaving the University
for any period of time. Under no circumstances will vaccines be
mailed. If you need someone else to pick up your vaccine, they must
show your express written consent.
Q. What happens to vaccine that is not picked
up?
We are not responsible for
vaccines that are not picked up. All vaccines will be kept in a
refrigerator until they are either picked up or they have expired. Expired
vaccines are destroyed.
