Pneumonia and flu vaccines

I have yet to get the pneumonia vaccine and know I should but I thought it was just a one time vaccine? I feel it is important to space out the vaccines from each other even though they tell you otherwise. So how to prioritize them? COVID is at the top of my list and that should be available soon. And can anyone explain what RSV is.

I’m like Sue and get all the recommended vaccines. I also prefer to space them a week or two apart.
RSV is respiratory syncytial virus which has cold like symptoms and is very common-most children have it by preschool. For most, it’s not a big problem, but it can cause serious illness in young children and high risk adults. My sister-in-law had RSV and the flu at the same time and ended up in ICU on a ventilator. She was high risk.
The vaccine was approved this year.
