Can you take an antibotic and get a pneumonia shot at the same time?
No, if you are sick you should not get a vaccine at the same time. Wait at least a week after you finish the antibiotics so your immune system is well enough for the vaccine.
How many seconds is a vaccine?
A vaccine is a medicine for immunity and does not have "seconds". If you mean how many seconds does it take for the vaccine to be administered, then the injection of a vaccine usually only takes 5-10 seconds to put the vaccine into your body with a needle since the amount of vaccine needed is so small. If the vaccine is available in a nasal mist, the inhalation of a nasal mist takes as long as it takes for you to sniff. If you mean how long will the immunity last before you need a booster vaccination, you should check with your doctor about the type of vaccine you are getting (e.g. influenza, bacterial pneumonia, etc.). Depending on your age and the type of vaccine, some vaccinations need boosters every so often. Your doctor can tell you how long the one you are getting lasts.

Does flu immunization cover pneumonia?
Not directly. The flu shot will only prevent the specific type of viral influenza that the vaccine has been developed to prevent. Most pneumonia is due to bacterial infections and not viral, although viral pneumonia and bacterial pneumonia are both common secondary complications of influenza. So, in the sense of preventing the flu that might have a secondary complication of pneumonia, it could be somewhat effective but not assured. For better prevention of pneumonia, there is a pneumonia vaccine that can be received at the same time as the flu vaccine, which is often done in the elderly or those with underlying health problems, especially chronic lung or heart diseases.

How do you prevent pneumonia in the body?
There is a vaccine for some forms of bacterial pneumonia. The vaccine doesn't protect against some forms of viral pneumonia, or the pneumonia that is put upon those with a low immunity system. By the way I'm twelve and i have pneumonia and i know all of this because i read. I'm not a computer freak, I just want to help. Preventing the flu is important also, because it can lead to pneumonia as a secondary infection because your resistance is low. Also, DON'T SMOKE, especially if you have a respiratory infection.
