The administering of Biologics

After having been approved for Biologics I received a phone call yesterday from the delivery company re the arranging of a nurse visit to train and administer the injection. I am concerned that every time I visited the hospital I was told I would have three appointments with a nurse at the hospital before a home visit. This was for training, administering and monitoring for allergic reactions.

I have spoken with the hospital about this change in the arrangement and apparently it's to help speed up the waiting list. I do understand this and I realise it will be more convenient in my own home but I can't help the nagging doubt of an allergic reaction.

Should I be concerned? Has anyone else on this site had the same xperience?
