Allergy Immunotherapy (or Allergy Shots)
We offer allergy immunotherapy for our patients suffering from certain allergy conditions. These allergy shots work similar to a vaccine – desensitizing the immune system to specific allergens that trigger symptoms and developing a tolerance over time. When speaking to an allergist at Northern Valley, we can discuss whether allergy immunotherapy is right for you or your child.
