Allergy shots for seasonal allergies

Can allergy shots reduce seasonal allergies?

At very best, only a few patients get good relief. For the majority of patients these shots are a complete waste of money. Please remember- medicine is a business and just like car mechanics finding unnecessary faults and recommending improvements in your car, allergy doctors do the same- only they give you injections which are useless. 

Studies indicate that < 30 percent of individuals develop successful immunity to seasonal allergies. Moreover, symptom relief is not immediate and may take several years. Despite what allergy physicians’ claim, the overall benefits of allergic shots is moderate at best.

Allergic shots do not work well against food allergens, dermatitis and eczema. I would not recommend allergy shots for any patient.
