“Each year in the United States, more than 250,000 people have to seek care in a hospital due to pneumonia. Unfortunately, about 50,000 people die from the disease each year in the United States. Most of the people affected by pneumonia in the United States are adults. Vaccines and appropriate treatment (like antibiotics and antivirals) could prevent many of these deaths.”

Well next year we'll probably have a Coronavirus vaccine and, for this year, hopefully people our ages have had their pneumonia and flu vaccines.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen I have doubts as to the efficacy of existing vaccines, but we get them every year. Costs nothing and causes no problems.

MCPO Roger Collins Peace of mind if nothing else. Flu shot is always a crap shoot, they're geared to last year's most predominant strain. Reminds me of a flight surgeon we had years ago who totally did not believe in flu shots, he'd sign off our immunization record if we asked him. Others that are geared to specific things, pneumonia, tetanus, shingles, polio, etc. I trust.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen I agree with you. Definitely worth getting the pneumonia shots and the shingles ones as well
