Is allergy shots considered immunosuppressive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Immune regulation: Allergy shots have been around for just over 100 years and have proven to be effective for most people who are allergic. They work through improved regulation of your immune system to reduce to allergic aspect. The most important thing is that many people continue to do well without the shots after having received them for 4-5 years.
