UNC Charlotte Student Health provides allergy injections for students undergoing the build-up or maintenance phases of immunotherapy. Services are available by appointment only, weekly during the fall and spring semesters, and are limited by capacity.

Important: Students beginning treatment must receive their first two injections from their prescribing allergist at the allergist’s office before receiving injections at Student Health. The first two injections of the initial build-up vial must be administered there.

If Student Health reaches capacity, students may continue treatment at Carolina Asthma and Allergy’s University location or another clinic. Students whose serum arrives but who are not established patients will be contacted about transferring to another local clinic.

Fees and Insurance

• Cost: $15–$35 per visit, depending on the number of injections.
• Insurance: Student Health files claims for the university Student Blue (BCBS) plan, Commerdial BCBS, abd Medcost.
• Private insurance: Student Health does not file private insurance claims. Contact your insurance provider about reimbursement.
