Pneumonia vaccination

I had this a few years ago. Absolutely no issues afterwards.

No problem

It's some years ago now since I had the pneumonia jab but I'm not sure if it's a life one or a 10 year touch.

There was talk years ago of scrapping it because apparently it doesn't give the protection that it was meant for with many people still losing their lives. Or was it all about the £100 million that it had cost ? So £20 per patient isn't worth spending ??

I had the pneumonia vaccination 2 years ago along with the flu jab. Experienced no side effects what so ever,I recommend everyone to take up the offer prevention is better than cure! I shall be 70 in a few weeks when hopefully I'll be offered the Shingles jab!

Ive chronic asthma and was advised to have it as you only have it once. No side effects whatsoever. My mother in law died with pneumonia a year ago tomorrow was awful to watch.

So Dougaldog do you feel any better about it now it seems nearly all of us who had the jab had no side effects have we put your mind at rest

Both my husband and I had it with no side effects.

I had pneumonia jab along with annual flu vaccination a couple of years ago with no side effects at all. I was told pneumonia one was once only. No effects from the shingles one either which was given earlier than normal as in my life I have had several bad bouts of shingles.

I had this several years ago one Thursday morning along with the flu injection, by lunchtime I had come up in in huge blotches all over my body.

I went back to the surgery but they were closed so I went to the local emergency medical centre who treated me and there were no further problems. They expressed surprise that I had had both injections in the same arm.

Is this logical? Perhaps we should just not have both injections at the same time.

I have not had pneumonia since nor before so I can't tell what would have happened if I hadn't had the injection but better safe than sorry. Go for it!

The failure of the OP to come back to this thread came to mind when reading about in increase in the incidence of measles in certain parts of the US, because the proportion of unvaccinated children was rising towards 10%.

It was suggested that the Russian government was
financing the spread of anti-vaccine propaganda as part of a policy of causing suspicion and unease of modern medical practice as a way of encouraging the destabilising of society and increasing conspiracy theories.

Is that what Dougaldog was doing here? If so, it didn't work very well.
