Yes, if the type of pneumonia the person has is caused by bacteria or viruses. Just like any other communicable disease, it will spread from person to person. Some forms of pneumonia are not due to infectious organisms and they are not communicable.

Use good hand washing and prevention techniques to avoid catching it from someone infected. There are vaccinations you can get for some types of pneumonia that work like a flu shot to keep you immune from the organism that causes the infectious pneumonia.
