The pneumonia vaccine schedule depends on the type of vaccine you receive. For the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13), it is recommended for adults aged 65 years or older to receive a single dose. For the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23), adults aged 65 or older may need a single dose, with a potential second dose if it has been more than 5 years since the first dose. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the appropriate vaccination schedule based on individual health factors.
My doctor told me to get the pneumonia vaccine shot every 5 years.
Normal side effects of the pneumonia shot is swelling and soreness at the area the shot was given. If you have concerns about an allergic reaction, you should consult your physician!
Yes; it will help reduce swelling and pain.

No, the pneumonia shot does not contain penicillin. Pneumonia vaccines, such as the pneumococcal vaccines (PCV13 and PPSV23), are designed to protect against specific strains of bacteria that cause pneumonia and do not include antibiotics like penicillin. Instead, they stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight off these bacteria.
I did and had no problems, plus, I had 3 others with those.
One of the best ways to protect yourself from Pneumonia is to get a flu shot since the flu is a common cause of Pneumonia. Another way to try to protect yourself from Pneuumonia is to get vaccinated for Pneumococcal Pneumonia.
You should say, "I recovered from pneumonia."
There's really no such thing as a pneumonia shot. Flu shot - maybe? Any type of vaccine or medicine could have side effects so it's worth mentioning to your health care provider if they persist.
Annually.
