Question for anyone....I just got my first pneumonia shot and have to wait a year for the 2nd vaccine. I came down with pneumonia this past winter. I see that many people on this chat page do get pneumonia...Have you all been vaccinated? Do you come down with it regardless of your vaccinations? Just wondering how effective the vaccinations are for folks with MAC that have had pneumonia in the past. Thanks for any input.

I got the shot also! My doctor said if I got it... I stand a better chance of recovering faster and it’s a chance of maybe not getting it. I think it’s great because it’s every 5 years.
I've been getting them regularly for several years. I did get pneumonia once. I think they are worthwhile. I had no side effects from the shot.

@alleycatkate I have received pneumococcal vaccine and have not had pneumonia. I don't think I've ever had pneumonia. But my doctor said I should get the vaccination due to my age (65).
