- Student Health and Counseling offers allergy sera administration (allergy injections) for those students already on an allergy desensitization program.
- Students can call 215-746-WELL (9355) and speak with an allergy nurse. Students new to our allergy clinic need an allergy intake appointment with a provider and an appointment with the allergy nurse to drop off their sera and review their allergist’s signed administration orders (see checklist below).
- Student Health and Counseling does not accept walk-in allergy appointment or mailed sera.
- Students with a history of anaphylaxis after administration of allergy sera are instructed to have allergy sera administered at an allergist office for their safety.
- Students must return to their allergist annually and after prolonged interruption in the buildup or maintenance of their allergy injection schedule.
- Students need to be aware of sera expiration dates and sera volume. Students are responsible for ordering and delivering their new sera to Student Health and Counseling. All new sera require corresponding new signed allergist orders. Expired sera will not be administered.
