Pneumonia is sometimes colloquially referred to as "the lung infection," "chest infection," or "pneumonitis." In historical contexts, it has also been called "the old man's friend" due to its association with elderly patients. Additionally, some may refer to it simply as "pneumonitis," though this term can encompass various types of lung inflammation.

Should someone who has already had pneumonia get the pneumonia vaccine?

Yes, if you are otherwise a candidate for the vaccine (there are age and health considerations as well as whether you have been vaccinated for it in the past), you should get vaccinated since pneumonia can be caused by different microbes, some types are viral, some types are bacterial, and even some more rare types are fungal. The type of pneumonia you had may be different than the types that are protected by the currently available pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine (aka the "pneumonia vaccination").Pneumococcal pneumonia is caused by pneumococcus bacteria. There are more than 80 different types of this bacteria that can cause pneumonia. The most common 23 of these types are included in the current vaccination. So even if you had one of the types of pneumonia that was caused by this bacteria, you can still be susceptible to the other types.
