Elizabethtown College Health Services offers the service of continuing maintenance immunotherapy in order to provide continuity of care for the student. Care is based on the awareness and approval of the prescribing Allergist along with a detailed schedule. Students must supply their own allergy extract as prescribed by their Allergist.
No Initial/1st time allergy injection will be given at the Health Center.
A student who has received their initial three months of uninterrupted scheduled injections while under the supervision of the initiating Allergist and without any documented reactions to the therapy, may begin therapy at the Health Center. All the necessary consent/permission slips must be signed by the Allergist and the student before therapy can begin.
