A registered nurse administers allergy injections for students who provide their own antigens with specific instructions from patient's private allergist. Allergy injections are given at Redfern, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, 8:30 AM - 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM - 4:20 PM. A physician is always present when allergy injections are given. See paper work that must be in place before receiving allergy injections (PDF) at Redfern. PPD, MMR, Tetanus, Hepatitis A & B and Meningitis immunizations are available at reasonable costs. View the Meningococcal disease and vaccine webpage for more information.

Access the Allergy/Immunization Clinic

Contact Redfern on your arrival to campus and set up an appointment by telephoning the Allergy Clinic at (864) 656-1541. Allow 1 - 1½ hours for the first visit to meet with the physician, the allergy nurse and complete the paperwork. Thereafter, a 20 minute waiting period is required each time you receive your injection. Bring your vaccine and physician's orders with you to your first appointment. Injections will NOT be given unless instructions are complete and signed by your physician and an initial injection has been administered in your medical doctor's office.

Allergy Injection Fee

Redfern charges a nominal fee per injection for administering allergy vaccines. Payment is expected at the time of service. It is the student's responsibility to keep the Patient Receipt to file with his/her insurance company.
