Allergy injections are available for students with antigen and personalized protocol orders from an allergy specialist. The Student Health Center does not perform allergy testing. Your allergist will sent orders directly to the Student Health Center and the allergy nurse will consult your allergist for any shot-related issues.
Relevant Information
A 30-minute observation period is required after injections with no exceptions. This is a typical protocol with many allergy offices.
If there are problems with your allergy shots, providers are always on-site with emergency medication and equipment and University Hospital is adjacent to the Student Health Center:
- Inform your allergist the Student Health Center will administer your allergy shots while at Mizzou. Your allergist will need to mail your antigen vial(s) and allergy protocol/schedule to:

MU Student Health Center
909 Hitt Street
Columbia, MO 65211
- Allergy Nurse
For questions, you or your allergist can call 573-882-7481 or email umhsshc@health.missouri.edu.
Antigen refills: To obtain new antigen vials and schedules, our allergy nurse will fax a reorder form and completed vial schedule to your allergist. The allergist’s office will charge you for new antigen.
During Academic Breaks
You are responsible for picking up your antigen and scheduling and transporting them back to your allergist’s office if you leave campus. If you forget, call 573-882-7481 and ask to speak with the allergy nurse to discuss options.
Students returning from breaks can resume injections without a new provider appointment.
