allergy shot
Immunizing needle prick
An allergy shot is an injection containing small amounts of allergens, given to reduce sensitivity over time.
The treatment, also called immunotherapy, typically involves regular shots over months or years to build tolerance: I get allergy shots every two weeks for my cat allergy.
