The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the entire country. Its effects have been uniquely felt in the healthcare industry, as providers reshape how they see patients and as Americans grow increasingly aware of their daily symptoms: is that lingering cough caused by a cold, the flu, or something worse?
These are difficult times for many, and that includes the tens of millions that suffer from allergies. For them, a better understanding of their symptoms–and long-term relief from those symptoms–can provide an improved quality of life. What often stands in the way is access to care, and how that access can fit within the new normal that we are all adapting to.
United Allergy Services is proud to increase access to allergy care that is safe, effective, and adaptive to life in 2020 and beyond. UAS was recently featured in an SFGate article from last month, titled “Treat Your Allergy Symptoms from Home and Avoid COVID-19 Fears.” The article notes the value our model of treatment offers to patients:
“The good news? These days, many allergies can be safely identified with minimal visits to healthcare providers and then treated from home. And that could provide better relief from your symptoms as well as greater peace of mind.”
Thankfully, United Allergy Services (UAS) offers allergy testing and immunotherapy treatment in a safe, convenient way. By working through your general provider to develop a treatment protocol that can be self-administered, relief for allergy sufferers can happen with minimal visits to the provider’s office or pharmacy. In fact, after the initial allergy test, which is administered in the general provider’s office, patients can undergo the majority of their treatment from the safety of their own homes.
UAS works with primary care providers to offer in-office allergy testing, and our model of allergy treatment allows for patients to self-administer in the safety and convenience of their home, either through the use of allergy shots or our proprietary brand of allergy drops, Allergy Allay Drops®.
“If you’re struggling with the misery that can result from seasonal allergies, you’re far from alone. According to the CDC, more than 50 million Americans are now dealing with some kind of allergy, making such afflictions the sixth most prevalent cause of chronic illness in the country. And with symptoms that can be mistaken for the novel coronavirus, seasonal allergies could be causing even more stress and anxiety for sufferers.”
