COVID-19 Safety Measures

Your health continues to be our priority 

We are open and providing in-person and telemedicine appointments. 

Safety Measures

We are taking many safety measures to ensure we are keeping you safe when you come into our office:

• Only healthy patients are allowed in clinic. 
• Pre-screening of staff and patients for COVID symptoms and risk factors before entering the clinic.
• Limited number of staff and patients in clinic including a one patient, one parent policy.
• Masks are mandatory for staff and patients.
• Decals throughout the clinics to support physical distancing.
• All patients will remain in their designated exam room for the duration of their appointment. 
• Thorough and frequent cleaning. 

Telemedicine Appointments

Telemedicine consultations via video with our board certified allergists are encouraged. These consultations are covered by most insurance carriers. Virtual consultations are ideal for:

• Assess food allergy history, determine testing that needs to be done, and understand treatment options.
• Discuss food allergy prevention strategies.
• Address follow-up questions or concerns.
• Obtain a second opinion.
  

Complimentary Patient Care Coordinator Consultations 

Patient Care Coordinators are team members who are parents with personal experience with food allergies. They provide support to patients and families to discuss non-medical needs, including advice on quality of life as it relates to food allergies.

COVID-19 Vaccinations 

Latitude Food Allergy Care is now administering the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine at our Redwood City location — by appointment only — to those who meet the current California and San Mateo county eligibility requirements.

In addition, for those with a history of anaphylaxis, you now have the option to be vaccinated in the safety of our allergy clinic which is uniquely equipped to handle reactions. Learn more about scheduling a vaccination appointment.
