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.
