Effective October 23, 2020: As the season brings about colder temperatures, our nurses will be performing allergy shot and biologic treatment checks indoors. Patients receiving allergy shots and biologic treatments will continue to wait in their cars during the 30 minute observation period. At the end of the 30 minutes, our office will contact you by text or phone call, and we kindly ask that you enter and wait in the vestibule area immediately outside of our office suite for a nurse to check your arm(s).

Currently, two vaccines are authorized and recommended to prevent COVID-19:
- Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine
- Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
We understand that some people may be concerned about getting vaccinated now that COVID-19 vaccines are available in the United States. While more COVID-19 vaccines are being developed as quickly as possible, routine processes and procedures remain in place to ensure the safety of any vaccine that is authorized or approved for use. Safety is a top priority, and there are many reasons to get vaccinated, including:
COVID-19 vaccination will help keep you from getting COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccination is a safer way to help build protection.
COVID-19 vaccination will be an important tool to help stop the pandemic.
While rare, anaphylactic reactions have been reported following vaccination with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
Based on CDC guidelines, you should NOT receive vaccination with either the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines if you have had any of the following:
- Severe allergic reaction (e.g., anaphylaxis) after a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components
- Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to a previous dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine or any of its components (including polyethylene glycol [PEG])*
- Immediate allergic reaction of any severity to polysorbate (due to potential cross-reactive hypersensitivity with the vaccine ingredient PEG)*
* These persons should not receive mRNA COVID-19 vaccination at this time unless they have been evaluated by an allergist-immunologist and it is determined that the person can safely receive the vaccine (e.g., under observation, in a setting with advanced medical care available).
Persons with an immediate allergic reaction to the first dose of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine should not receive additional doses of either of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines.
