Frequently Asked Questions About Allergy Shots

Allergy shots, also called immunotherapy, are a long-term treatment designed to lower your sensitivity to allergens. These injections introduce small, controlled doses of allergens into your body over time. This gradual exposure helps train your immune system to respond less intensely, providing lasting relief from allergy symptoms.
You might start noticing improvements in your allergy symptoms within a few months of beginning treatment. Significant results, however, often take 6 to 12 months of regular injections. The complete course of immunotherapy usually spans 3 to 5 years, and many people continue to benefit even after finishing their treatments.
Mild side effects, such as redness or swelling around the injection site or a brief increase in symptoms, can sometimes occur. These reactions are typically minor and go away quickly. Serious reactions are rare and are handled promptly by your healthcare provider if they happen.
Many insurance plans cover allergy shots if they are considered medically necessary, though the specifics depend on your provider and policy. To avoid surprises, it’s best to check your insurance plan details or contact your provider for confirmation.
For many allergy sufferers, allergy shots offer effective, long-lasting relief. In some cases, they may even lead to permanent improvements. These treatments are especially useful for individuals who don’t get adequate relief from medications or other therapies.
Allergy shots are generally given at an allergist’s office by trained medical professionals. At Alabama ENT & Allergy, we provide personalized allergy shot treatments to help you find long-term relief. Your doctor will create a treatment plan that is specifically tailored to your needs.
