Allergy shots near me: find a clinic, or skip the clinic
The nearest allergy clinic is only half the question. The other half is whether you can get there every week for months. How to find a good clinic, and how at-home allergy shots and drops compare.
To find allergy shots near you, search the AAAAI or ACAAI allergist finders, check which local clinics are in your insurance network, and ask how often you would need to come in: build-up usually means one or two visits a week for three to six months, each with a 30-minute wait, then a visit every two to four weeks for three to five years. If that schedule is the obstacle, Curex offers at-home allergy shots for environmental allergies — the same allergy shots an allergist’s office gives, prescribed by allergy physicians, prepared by a specialty pharmacy and shipped to you, with protocols designed for self-administration at home and a physician and care manager supervising online — from $129/month plus a plan-dependent copay for each video consultation. Allergy drops are a needle-free alternative taken at home. Anyone with a history of anaphylaxis or severe asthma should start with an allergist in person.

Finding a clinic
How to find allergy shots near you
- Search the specialist finders. The AAAAI allergist finder and the ACAAI allergist finder list board-certified allergists by location. Check nearby towns as well as your own ZIP code.
- Check your insurance network. Use your insurer’s provider directory, or call the number on your card, to confirm the clinic is in network and what you will owe per visit.
- Ask about shot hours. Many clinics run walk-in injection hours. Make sure they fit your work or school day — you will be going often.
- Ask about the build-up schedule. Some clinics offer cluster schedules that reach the maintenance dose in fewer visits, at a higher risk of reactions during build-up.
- Verify credentials. Board certification in allergy and immunology can be checked with the American Board of Allergy and Immunology.
- Bring your test results. A recent IgE blood test or skin test can save a step; see at-home allergy tests.

At home
How at-home allergy shots work at Curex
Curex at-home allergy shots are the same allergy shots an allergist’s office gives, prescribed by allergy physicians and prepared by a specialty pharmacy. Protocols use allergist-designed dosing schedules built for self-administration at home, with physician supervision and care-manager check-ins, and patients keep epinephrine on hand. The program is designed for patients who are already on allergy shots and want the same treatment at home, and for people who cannot fit weekly clinic visits into their schedule.
U.S. practice parameters advise giving allergy shots in a medical setting equipped to treat anaphylaxis (Cox 2011); at-home programs work within that by selecting lower-risk patients, using slower build-up schedules, supervising remotely and keeping epinephrine at home. In the largest published analysis of a home protocol of this kind, 23,614 preselected patients self-administered about two million injections over one year with a systemic reaction rate of 0.16% per patient and no deaths (Schaffer 2015). The full evidence and safeguards: at-home allergy shots.

Cost
What Curex at-home allergy shots cost
| Plan | Monthly | Annual | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Environmental Allergy Shots Plan | $129/month | $1,290/year | Environmental allergy shots; plus insurance copay for each video consultation. |
| Environmental Allergy Shots Self-Pay Plan | $149/month | $1,490/year | Environmental allergy shots; consultations included without a consultation copay. |
Curex prices as of October 12, 2026. Annual plans offer the biggest savings: an annual subscription costs the same as 10 monthly payments, so you save two months of subscription fees, or about 20%. Savings apply to the allergy plan subscription; testing and copays are priced separately. GLP-1 annual rates are shown with other products. Insurance is used for video consultations and in-lab IgE testing. See Curex pricing and allergy drops and insurance.
Safety first
Who should get allergy shots in a clinic
- Insect-sting (venom) allergy. Venom immunotherapy is given in a clinic; Curex shots are for environmental allergies.
- A history of anaphylaxis, or a past systemic reaction to allergy shots.
- Severe or poorly controlled asthma. Uncontrolled asthma is the factor most often linked to severe reactions to shots.
- Beta-blockers or significant heart disease. They can make a severe reaction harder to treat.
- Pregnancy, young children, or a suspected food or drug allergy. Start with an in-person evaluation.
Anyone with a history of anaphylaxis, severe or poorly controlled asthma, a suspected food or drug allergy, a young child, or someone who is pregnant should be evaluated by an allergist in person before starting any at-home immunotherapy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Search the AAAAI and ACAAI allergist finders for board-certified allergists near you, confirm the clinic is in your insurance network, and ask about injection hours and the build-up schedule. Our state and city guides are at /allergy-shots/locations. If weekly visits will not work, Curex offers at-home allergy shots and allergy drops by telemedicine.
Yes, with the right protocol. Curex at-home allergy shots for environmental allergies are prescribed by allergy physicians, prepared by a specialty pharmacy, and self-administered at home under allergist-designed schedules, with physician and care-manager supervision online and epinephrine on hand. $129/month plus a plan-dependent copay for each video consultation, or $149/month self-pay. The care team confirms eligibility and availability in your state.
In a clinic, usually once or twice a week for three to six months during build-up, then every two to four weeks for three to five years. Each visit includes a 30-minute observation period.
Clinic shots are usually billed to medical insurance, so the cost is your copay or coinsurance at each visit plus any deductible, across dozens of visits a year during build-up. Curex at-home allergy shots are $129/month or $1,290/year plus a plan-dependent copay for each video consultation, or $149/month self-pay with consultations included (prices as of October 12, 2026).
Usually, under medical benefits, subject to your deductible and a copay or coinsurance per visit. Curex uses insurance for video consultations and in-lab allergy testing; the at-home shots plan is a monthly subscription.
You need an allergy diagnosis and a prescription. In a clinic, an allergist usually tests and prescribes. Curex allergy physicians prescribe after an IgE blood test and a video or message consultation. Anyone with a history of anaphylaxis or severe asthma should see an allergist in person first.
At-home protocols are built for safety: patient selection, slower build-up, remote supervision and epinephrine at home. In the largest published analysis of a home protocol, preselected patients had a systemic reaction rate of 0.16% per patient over one year, with no deaths. People with venom allergy, past anaphylaxis or uncontrolled asthma should be treated in a clinic.
Both are immunotherapy with the same allergen extracts, and the trial evidence shows no conclusive difference in effectiveness. Shots need injections on a schedule; drops are needle-free, taken daily at home, and also cover food allergies at Curex. Shots remain the treatment for insect-venom allergy.
Possibly. Curex’s at-home program is designed for patients already on allergy shots who want the same treatment at home. Share your current prescription and test results during onboarding; a Curex allergy physician decides the right protocol, and the care team confirms availability in your state.
General information, not individualized medical advice. Your treating clinician decides eligibility, treatment and dosing. For trouble breathing, throat swelling, faintness or a suspected severe allergic reaction, use epinephrine if prescribed and call 911.
