Allergy injections are available at the Health Service. Any student who would like to have their allergy shots administered by the Health Service staff will need to have an exam by the Health Service Physician prior to getting their first injection. Returning patients do not have to be examined by the physician.

Fees

There will be an initial exam fee of $10, as well as $5 per injection for the semester. Please call the Health Service at 724-357-2550 to make an appointment. You will be required to bring a copy of your order from your allergist, as well as documentation of your last injection.

For any missed appointment, a standard “no show fee” will be charged to your student account. You will be required to provide your allergy serum/medication and reorder it as needed.
