Yes, people with weakened immune systems are often recommended to get the pneumonia vaccine because they are at higher risk of severe illness from pneumococcal infections. The CDC advises immunocompromised individuals to receive both PCV15 (or PCV20) and PPSV23, depending on their medical condition.
However, it's best to consult a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate vaccine schedule based on your specific health condition.

Why doesn't immunisation always work?
because the immune system may not be strong enough to create antibodies also when a vaccine is used it could of weakened the immune system ...
Which vaccine type is not given usually to people whose immune system is compromised?
Live attenuated vaccines are typically not given to people with compromised immune systems because they contain weakened forms of the virus that may still cause illness in those with weakened immune responses.
What is a preparation of a weakened or killed pathogen called?
It is called a vaccine. Vaccines trigger an immune response in the body without causing the disease, preparing the immune system to recognize and fight off the pathogen if exposed in the future.

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.
What is a common cause of death for children with ataxia-telangiectasia?
The combination of a weakened immune system and progressive ataxia can ultimately lead to pneumonia as a cause of death.
How did Carl Sagan get Pneumonia?
Carl Sagan developed pneumonia as a complication of his battle with myelodysplasia, a bone marrow disorder. The chemotherapy and immunosuppressive treatments he underwent weakened his immune system, making him vulnerable to infections like pneumonia.
What is a fluid containing weakened disease causing viruses of bacteria?
A fluid containing weakened disease-causing viruses or bacteria is known as a vaccine. Vaccines stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies to protect against future infections by the same pathogen.
What is the difference between antitserium and vaccine?
vaccine: a vaccine teaches your immune system how to fight an infectionantiserum :an antiserum either neutralise the infection or stimulate the immune system
How does vaccine relate to the virus that it protect against?
A vaccine is essentially a weakened or dead version of the virus. This essentially "infects" you with the virus and causes the body's immune system to respond and create anti-bodies that will kill the real virus if it does ever get into your system.
What is an artificial or weakened antigen called?
An artificial or weakened antigen is commonly referred to as a "vaccine." Vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system by introducing a harmless form or component of a pathogen, which can be either inactivated (killed) or attenuated (weakened). This helps the immune system recognize and mount a defense against the actual pathogen if encountered in the future, thereby providing immunity.
