No pneumonia shot as far as I know. I had a slight case of pneumonia a
couple weeks ago. Bronchitis. Pneumonia is not a disease, but a symptom.
Means fluid in lungs. As to smoking, I get upset at people who sue these
days saying they did not know smoking was bad. Give us a break.

There is actually a vaccine recommended for seniors that will offer some protection against pneumonia.

According to Pfizer Canada, Prevnar 13 is approved for use in Canada.
I didn't check on the second.

Snerk...that's what they told him. No responsible gov't would waste an expensive vaccine on a piece of **** like him.

Actually had two of them, the old and the new. I've had pneumonia twice, both times
when I was smoking. Since I stopped I've not had a problem.
