Screening for Patients & Staff
We have an enhanced screening procedure to identify those who have COVID-19 symptoms or who have been in contact with others who have.
COVID-19 Safety Procedures
All offices are currently open
Last updated April 12, 2021
As a healthcare specialist, our patients, doctors, nurses, and staff members’ health is our top priority as we remain open to help you manage your allergic, asthmatic, and immunologic conditions.
The below measures are the precautions we have in place to protect you.
Screening Temperatures
Our staff members are screening the temperatures of everyone that enters our offices using infrared, contact-free thermometers. If your temperature is considered high, our staff will inform you of this and ask you to return outside immediately.
Social Distancing in All Offices
We are limiting the number of patients in the office at one time.
We are limiting patients to one guest (i.e., parent, guardian, partner) present for any appointments or allergy shot visits. All other visitors will need to wait in the car.
We have also implemented social distancing measures in our waiting rooms and wherever possible.
Routine Cleaning & Disinfecting
We have implemented multiple cleanings of the exam rooms and waiting room areas throughout the day.
Protective Equipment
All staff wears personal protective gear, including masks. All patients and visitors must wear a face mask when entering our offices. The CDC does not recommend a face shield as a substitute for masks and therefore we do require that masks are worn, even for those using a face shield.
Offices are Open
Our offices are open for appointments and allergy shots and are operating on their regular schedule. Please visit our locations page to view your local office’s shot hours.
Telemedicine Appointments
We are offering telemedicine visits to current and new patients. Please call our office to schedule an appointment with our physicians.
We will continue to monitor CDC guidelines and make changes as appropriate to ensure the safety of our patients and staff.
COVID-19 Vaccines
When can I get my allergy shot after receiving the vaccine?
If you are undergoing immunotherapy for your allergies, we recommend the COVID-19 vaccine and the allergy shot be administered at least 24-48 hours apart. While we have not seen any reasons for patients on allergy shots not to receive either the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines or the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, waiting 24-48 hours helps avoid confusion if a reaction occurs.
