The Student Health Center provides ongoing immunotherapy injections for students who have previously had immunotherapy treatment.

The student must also give to the Health Center signed orders from the allergist, and an administration schedule. Allergy shots are given by appointment only and when a physician is on premises. Allergy shots are administered free of charge to Villanova students.
All students need health insurance throughout their term of enrollment at Villanova. All domestic undergraduate matriculated students, all international students, and all law school students must either enroll in the school sponsored plan with United Health or waive out of the University sponsored plan by showing proof of comparable coverage. All domestic non-matriculating undergraduate students, graduate students taking six or more credit hours, and Ph.D thesis continuation students are also eligible to purchase this coverage. For more information regarding the school sponsored plan, and the enrollment/waiver process, please visit the website www.firststudent.com.

In some cases, students may need to be referred to an off local travel medicine provider in the community.
