Allergy Shot

An injection of allergen extracts administered to reduce a patient's sensitivity to specific allergens over time, a treatment known as allergen immunotherapy. Some urgent care clinics can administer allergy shots prescribed by an allergist. Allergy shots work by gradually exposing the immune system to increasing amounts of an allergen, training the body to become less reactive. Treatment typically has two phases: a build-up phase with weekly injections of increasing doses over several months, and a maintenance phase with monthly injections for three to five years.

Your urgent care provider can answer this during your appointment. Front Desk verifies whether the clinic can administer allergy injections with an existing prescription, explains the required observation period, and coordinates with the patient's allergist office if serum transfer is needed.
