title: [National Allergy Program in support of hyposensitization in Finland].
abstract: National Allergy Program aims at reducing the burden caused by allergic diseases. New research data speak for reduced immunologic tolerance of urbanized people. Therefore, hyposensitization has been promoted while it has become more versatile. The program supports health and emphasizes early intervention against severe manifestations of allergy. Mild symptoms often recede spontaneously.
