Allergy alert/notification when ordering a therapeutic injection

What is your best workflow for when a patient has an allergy that can interact with an injection?  This is a made up scenario, but played out similarly.  A patient believes she’s allergic to Penicillin, allergy verified in the note by the nurse on intake and entered as structured data in the allergies.  The provider, during the visit, orders a Penicillin injection for the patient.  The patient is given the injection.  The provider is upset that a pop-up notification or interaction notification didn’t show the allergy, as it would for medications. 
Is there a setting or item key available that would give a pop-up notification for injections as we get for medication interactions?
Thanks,
Karen
