Do allergy shots help your immunity for all your life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Allergen immunotherapy or allergy shots can trick your immune system into thinking it is not allergic to pollens, pet dander, dust mite etc but some patients develop new or different allergies later on in life after shots are finished, other patients never get a complete "cure" from their allergies, but overall success rate very high
