Question : Do Allergy shots count as treatment for asthma?
Do allergy shots count as treatment for asthma? I have not been directly treated for asthma since I was about 8 or 9, but still take allergy shots and will be for about another year (’till I’m 15) Is that a DQ? Also, how hard is it to get a waiver for asthma treatment under the age of 13? Do I need to take a Pulmonary test? What doctor do I go to get it from? Thanks, I want to go into the Army Reserve to be an ITS if that helps.

By the time your 17 the way it sounds from what you said then you might not have to take the allergy shots and at 17 is usually when you can join but most join at 18. I think you should be good thou because most people get away with it when they ask if anything is physically or mentally wrong with you. I know a couple people that grew out of asthma and still has asthma that are in the army. They just didn’t tell their recruiter or any of em that they had it. Hope this helps you out some what.
