Allergy shots:

The following information is for both new and returning students.

If you are already on a desensitization program and want to continue it at SHS you must click on the links below and review the information. At your first visit you will need to bring your serums, doctor's orders, and the completed form below. To ensure patient safety we require that in addition to your doctor's orders we receive a completed Physician Data form. Desensitization therapy cannot begin until all forms are received.

Allergy injections are provided at no additional charge. They are performed daily by appointment by the allergy nurse.

Immunization program:

All full-time students must be protected against certain diseases. Full-time and part-time students who live on campus must comply with the meningococcal requirement. Please click here for details.

Failure to meet the requirements will result in denial of student registration privileges.

The deadlines for submission of online immunization history is July 1,2009.

Travel immunizations:

In addition to required immunizations for full-time students, SHS also provides immunizations for travel abroad. These immunizations are given in conjunction with a travel consultation with one of our providers. If you will be traveling and think you may need immunizations, please call 215.746.3535 to make an appointment for a travel consult at least 4-6 weeks before your anticipated departure date as many vaccines take some time to become active in the body.
