I posted on here a short time ago about having had the flu jab and somebody suggested asking about the pneumonia jab. Thanks lee_even den ☺

I did this and my gp said I could have it. I've made an appointment for October 17th. Hoping all goes well ☺

This is less of a problem than a flu jab. No side effects at all. I had pneumonia this year nowhere near as bad as it could have been so am grateful for this jab.

I had what I would call the "sniffles" for about a fortnight after I had had the pneumonia jab last December, but nothing major. As with the flu jab, it affects people differently. Apart from a bruise, I've not so far had any side effects from the flu jab.

Moo in this is a one off jab you will not need to repeat every year like the flu jab and to the best of my knowledge there are very few or no possible side effects to this vaccine.

Take care.

Hope all goes well.
