ALK-Abello Venom Immunotherapy Vaccines

Immunotherapy Vaccines exist for treatment of severe allergy to Sting Insect Venoms, such as Wasp and Bee and Hornet and Jumper Ant stings.

These vaccines are in fact the pure venom, as found in the sting, but that venom is given as a course of injections (only) by the Specialist Allergist (ony), with increases volumes of increasing potency, until the patient becomes fully tolerant of normal natural stings after 3 to 5 years of treatment. This is a very effective and potentially life-saving treatment for sting allergy.
