27 months of Peace Corps service without receiving allergy shots.

□ I have discussed stopping allergy shots with my physician, who agrees that the allergy shots can be stopped without
unreasonable risk of substantial harm to my health.*

health, I may no longer be allowed to serve in the Peace Corps.*
