Incoming and returning students will be contacted each summer with information on how to upload immunization records into the collection system.

• Injections

  Injections (patient supplied)

  We administer routine injections (patient supplied) prescribed by your PCP (i.e.- allergy shots, depo injection, etc.).

  For students wishing to inquire about the possibility of receiving their allergy injections through the NGU clinic, please call the clinic at 864-901-7487 for an initial evaluation. After the initial evaluation, the process for us to obtain the necessary information from the student’s home allergist’s office can take up two weeks. Please plan accordingly.
  
  Bring your twin pack of EpiPen to each allergy injection appt.

  Thanks!
