Nurses in the UHS Allergy/Immunization Clinic provide allergy shots and immunizations by appointment. Tuberculosis (TB) testing and documentation is also available to UT students, faculty, and staff. Charges apply for immunizations, TB testing, and administration of allergy shots, but they are often lower than fees for the same services at other facilities.

Allergy Shots

UT students who have started an allergy desensitization program (allergy shots) with an allergist can have their injections administered at UHS. Students must furnish the allergy extract prescribed by their allergist, either by bringing it in or having the allergist send it to us. Extract must be accompanied by your physician's instructions for handling missed or late injections and recommendations for adjusting the dosage if you have a reaction. Vials of extract must be labeled with:

• Patient's name
• Name(s) of antigen(s) in each vial
• Dosage instructions
• Dilution
• Extract expiration date
• Preservatives in each vial

UHS does not offer allergy testing.

Immunizations

UT students can get a wide variety of immunizations at UHS. Travel health counseling, immunizations, and anti-malarial medication (as appropriate) for travel abroad are also available. Faculty and staff are eligible to use these UHS travel health services.
