Can allergy shots cause serum sickness?
No. Even though the treatment solution for allergy shot is sometimes called "allergy serum", there is no serum in these solutions. Serum sickness occurs when a large dose of an animal serum protein or a large dose of some medications are given and the immune system make high doses of immune antibody against that protein. Small capillaries in the joints, kidneys, skin, etc get plugged up by the clumps formed when the antibody joins with the protein. Allergy shots use very week doses because the person is already allergic to the treatment solution. Large doses are required to develop serum sickness.
What the difference between the vaccine and serum?
A vaccine is a substance that stimulates the body's immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease, typically by introducing a harmless form of the disease-causing agent. A serum is a component of blood that contains antibodies that can provide passive immunity when transferred to another individual. In summary, vaccines are used to prevent illness, while serums are used as a treatment after exposure to an illness.
