Most pneumonia vaccines, including the pneumococcal vaccines, do not contain Mercury. Some vaccines historically contained thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, but many vaccines have been reformulated to eliminate this ingredient. Current formulations of pneumonia vaccines are considered safe and do not pose mercury-related risks. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific vaccine ingredient information.
It depends in what form the vaccine is given. If it is FluMist (through the nose) or a single-dose pre-filled syringe, then it does not contain thermisol (mercury). If it a multiple dose vaccine, then it contains therimosol to help preserve the vaccine. The FDA has suspended the limits of mercury in the H1N1 vaccine, which means the multiple dose vaccine may contain amounts of mercury higher than the FDA has previously allowed.
There is no specific vaccine for viral pneumonia, but vaccines such as the influenza (flu) vaccine and the measles vaccine can help prevent some of the viral infections that can lead to pneumonia. It is important to practice good hygiene, get vaccinated, and seek medical attention if you develop symptoms of pneumonia.

My doctor told me to get the pneumonia vaccine shot every 5 years.
The pneumonia vaccine significantly reduces the risk of contracting certain types of pneumonia caused by specific bacteria, such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. However, it does not provide complete immunity, and there are other causes of pneumonia, such as viral infections, that the vaccine does not protect against. Therefore, while the vaccine can lower the likelihood and severity of pneumonia, it does not guarantee that you won't contract the disease.
Five years. The Pneumococcal Vaccine prevents serious blood, brain, and lung infections from the streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. This includes pneumonia and meningitis.
No, the "pneumonia vaccine" is to protect against several types of pneumonia that are common and will not protect against the A-H1N1/09 virus. See related questions below.
yes there is. you have to go to the hospital to get a vaccine
a vaccine that protects against pneumonia & meningitis. it is typically given to infants and the elderly, both of which are very susceptible to these illnesses.
The pneumonia vaccine is typically administered intramuscularly, not subcutaneously or immaculately. This method allows for better absorption and immune response. Depending on the specific vaccine, it may be given in the upper arm or thigh. Always consult with a healthcare provider for the appropriate administration technique.
