How does it work?

• Eligible personnel are referred by their primary care provider to an allergist who will evaluate them and determine whether they are candidates for immunotherapy (allergy shots).
• Treatment is initiated at the allergist’s location, usually a military treatment facility (MTF).
• If desired, immunotherapy treatment can then be transferred to DPHC where treatment will be continued and administered by trained and skilled clinic staff.

Note: All allergy patients must wait 30 minutes in the clinic after receiving their allergy shots to monitor for any adverse reactions.

We do not provide referrals to the allergist. Referrals are only submitted by the Primary Care provider. We do not have an in-house allergist. Allergy testing and initial evaluations are only available at a Military Treatment Facility. The nearest MTF’s include: Fort Belvoir Community Hospital, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, and Malcolm Grove Medical Clinic at Andrews Air Force Base.
