About this Procedure

A doctor or nurse gives you shots over the course of 3 to 5 years. This series of allergy shots may help reduce your allergy symptoms.

  • For the first 3 to 6 months, you receive shots about 1 to 3 times a week.
  • For the next 3 to 5 years, you receive the shots less often, about every 4 to 6 weeks.

Only the allergens you are allergic to are in your allergy shots. Allergy shots are only one part of an allergy treatment plan. You may also take allergy medicines while having allergy shots.
