Vaccine reduces likelihood of severe pneumonia.

[2greys]

A new study has found severe pneumonia decreases by 35 per cent in children who receive a vaccine against a pneumonia-causing bacteria.

The research, a collaborative effort between the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute (MCRI) and the University of Melbourne along with colleagues in the Asia-Pacific region, shows pneumonia is the most common reason why children are admitted to hospital in Laos, with most requiring treatment with oxygen, especially young infants.

I wonder if the vaccine will become commonplace around the world.

Best wishes to you this World Pneumonia Day.

2greys I hope your return to work went well and you're getting back to your previous levels of health before the pneumonia.

I see reported in The Guardian that cases of childhood pneumonia have increased in the UK over the last ten years.

It obviously helped you . You are defying that Blf report already ,! well done.

But do we know how long this protection lasts. Is it lifelong.?

.Immunity levels drop as we age anyway

Remember to take it easy.
