Laura:
In most cases, nurses can give allergy shots but you are doing the right things to make sure this is not a new allergen series and that the anaphylaxis risk is low. Your state nurse practice act will not identify “specific” medications or treatments but rather that you can do activities that are inline with your education and experience. Part of the experience is your “comfort level” and therefore an assumption of responsibility. Legally, you can most likely provide this service, but always be sure to review your state nurse practice act as well.
Take care
