How do allergy vaccines, or immunotherapy shots, reduce allergic reactions over time?
MedicineAllergy
Quick Answer
They expose the immune system to tiny, controlled amounts of an allergen. Over time, the body becomes less reactive and symptoms often become milder.
The Full Story
Allergen immunotherapy uses gradually increasing doses of an allergen such as pollen, dust mites or bee venom. The goal is not to vaccinate against a germ but to retrain the immune system away from an overreaction. This treatment can increase tolerance, shift antibody responses and reduce symptoms for years in some patients. It is usually given under medical supervision because allergic reactions can occur during treatment.
