Hay fever vaccine: New method could be 'cheaper and better'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-19545698




Sneezing through summer with a runny nose could become a thing of the past if researchers in London are successful at developing a new hay fever vaccine.

The researchers, at Imperial College London and King's College London, say their "targeted" approach could lead to a cheaper and more effective vaccine.

Allergy UK said it was a very exciting development.
