Can pneumonia be transmitted?

That depends on the type of pneumonia. Viral and "atypical" pneumonias (AKA "walking pneumonia") are generally infectious. These usually have lower fevers and are not as debilitating and feature runny noses and head congestion prominently. Classic bacterial pneumonia often has chest pain, very high fevers and a cough that produces thick sputum. The person may have headaches and muscle aches and feel lousy all over but they generally do not have a runny nose or head congestion. This is generally not contagious.

Why do you pat someone on the back for pneumonia?

Patting on the back, what is referred to as tapotement, helps loosen the phlegm in a person's lungs. If they have pneumonia or other condition that causes congestion, this will help them clear out their lungs. If the cause of the congestion is unknown, then a visit to the doctor would be a good idea. Be sure to ask them if it is OK to do patting on their back.
