Allergy shots and ROTC

[PRBWJB]

My dd is planning to be a member of ROTC (hopefully on scholarship) when she enters college in Fall 2022. She is currently receiving shots for seasonal allergies (she started at 2x a week and is now at every two weeks). Will this be an issue when applying for ROTC (most likely Army, but maybe AF)? Just want to be prepared.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

You could post this on the DoDMERB forum for a more definitive answer. My DD had allergy shots for environmental allergies. She had finished with her treatment before applying for ROTC and it was not an issue with DoDMERB. The problem would be if your dd had asthma or eczema, which are sometimes associated with allergies.
