INJECTION PROCESS (Effective 10/3/2022) (updated 4/17/23)

  1. To prevent transmission to others, we continue to ask all patients and visitors with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection or compatible symptoms to defer non-urgent in-person visitation until they have met the healthcare criteria to end isolation. If you are unsure about whether or not you should come to office, please call and speak with a nurse.
  2. Wearing a mask or face covering while in the office is optional for staff, patients, and families. (Updated 4/17/23) Masks will continue to be available for use. Please be kind and respectful to everyone in the waiting area. While masks are optional for most, we must continue to support those who may need or opt to mask for a multitude of reasons. You may be asked to wear a mask if you are exhibiting symptoms of a respiratory infection.
  3. Use provided hand sanitizer upon arrival.
  4. SCAN IN for an injection using the scan station. If your scan was successful, you will hear a "beep" and see a message on the computer screen that indicates how many patients are currently waiting for an injection. If you are here for your first injection or Xolair, Nucala, or Fasenra please see the front desk staff.
  5. Find a seat or stand in the waiting room and wait to be called back to a station for your injection(s).
  6. Staff will call you back to an injection station when they have your injections prepared, using an overhead speaker. “Jane D. to Station 7.” You will be asked screening questions* by GRA staff.
  7. After your injection has been given, find a place to sit in one of our waiting areas for your 30-minute post injection wait.
    1. Lower level waiting areas may be open.
    2. You may choose to leave a seat/space between you and anyone in a different group. If there is not sufficient seating available, please see a staff member for assistance.
    3. If you have concerns about your waiting space, please see staff BEFORE getting an injection.
  8. If you have a change in baseline symptoms at any time during your wait, please alert a staff member. You are free to go at the completion of your wait time.

We are here for you! Thank you for your patience!
