Dear Patients of Richmond Allergy and Asthma Specialists,
We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with some information with regards to Richmond Allergy and Asthma’s office preparedness and the new Coronavirus (COVID-19). While it is possible that this will have little impact on us locally, all of us here at Richmond Allergy are preparing for the chance that Central Virginia may be affected in the coming days and weeks.
While most COVID-19 cases have led to flu-like symptoms and resolve in 2-3 weeks, it is prudent to be proactive and very aggressive in preventing infection. The most effective thing that all of us can do is to wash our hands with soap and water (or alcohol-based hand sanitizer when not available) and to avoid touching our faces.
As medical professionals, our most serious concern is for people who are immunocompromised or suffer from other serious health problems. To ensure these patients can be seen in the healthiest and safest possible environment, if you have a fever or think you might be infected, do not come to the office for your appointment or for shots. Call our front desk and we will be happy to provide you with a new appointment. Richmond Allergy and Asthma’s employee policy requires our providers and staff to stay at home if they are ill as well. Be assured that all Richmond Allergy employees are following the protocols recommended by the World Health Organization. Please refer to the World Health Organization (WHO) website https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019.
We will continue to closely monitor all aspects of the COVID-19 situation, and will update any changes on our Richmond Allergy and Asthma website and Facebook page.
Richmond Allergy and Asthma has and will continue to be a safe place to get your medical care.
Be Well.

We are aware that recent reports regarding the COVID-19 Vaccine have caused concern, particularly among those with a history of allergies. Richmond Allergy and Asthma Specialists would like to reassure our patients by presenting the facts and being available to answer any questions.
Anyone with a history of food, pet, insect, venom, environmental, or latex allergies is able to proceed with vaccination of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 injection.
Individuals with a history of severe allergic reaction (e.g. anaphylaxis) to an injectable medication should use caution when receiving the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and be observed for a 30 minute period after vaccination.
