Pneumonia
Probably not as all viruses are different. Xxx
I do not believe so as the pneumonia vaccine at present is not 100% effective.
Apparently not this is a very different virus take care keep safe xxx
Like the flu vaccination pneumonia vaccination is made up of the most likely strains to catch over a certain period of time. As Corvid 19 is a new one then no, sadly. We must just take extra care.
Thanks for your comments it was just something I wondered about. Obviously like everyone else is will be taking great care.
The pneumonia vaccine is against bacterial strains and not viruses. However, if the virus itself doesn't cause pneumonia, but weakens your immune system such that you might otherwise catch bacterial pneumonia, then the vaccine would reduce that risk.
