There may be some respite for hay fever sufferers according to the New Scientist. Seemingly a team of British Scientists have come up with a vaccine that can alleviate the symptoms of pollen allergy in just four weeks. Most hay fever vaccines have to be administered gradually over a long period of time due to the risk of extreme reaction. The new vaccine, however, has been specially adapted so that it won’t over-stimulate the immune system, allowing larger doses to be given immediately.

Don’t get your hopes up too much though as the improvements were steady rather than drastic. In a study of 1028 hay fever sufferers an average improvement in symptoms of 13% was recorded after 4 weeks, with a 27% increase noted in a few hundred sufferers who kept more complete records.

For people who have gone down this line of treatment there is no doubt that, if nothing else, the new vaccine will prove a lot more convenient than having injections over extended periods stretching years. But if you’re interested in allergy remedies then don’t forget we carry several alternative products, including AllergiClear Tablets.
