I got one after hospital and was told it would last for 5yrs. Alas it is doubtful that it would be effective against Covid 19, since this leads to a viral form of pneumonia- the vaccination works for bacterial pneumonia ( that is how I understand it anyway).

I was in FGH (Furness General Hospital) / ICU / PPU Jan/Feb/Mar 2019 with Flu and Double Pneumonia but haven't got a clue as to what drugs I was given.
