My doctor has been pushing me to get the 23 valent pneumonia vaccination. I already had the PCV 15.
Any recommendations from health professionals on site would be appreciated. Thanks.
Ronald Reagan died from pneumonia as I recollect.
:-)
I find asking for recommendations from unknown people about injections with unknown ingredients laughable.
My advice, develop a relationship with God, he will never steer you wrong. The Holy Spirit works in amazing ways. I “knew” the MRNA Covid “ vax’s” were ineffective and dangerous before they were even mandated and pushed en mass upon the poor souls.
My mother, 92, a Godly woman told me BEFORE there were MRNA shots, “ when they come up with a shot for this Covid stuff, do NOT take it”…..Amen.
If you have not had one for pneumonia, it is not a bad idea to get it,
We get pneumonia when our normal defenses are poor. The vaccine will counter those issues, keeping you alive.
” Any good advice?”
you have the right to not disclose that information ... just tell him to mark you down as “unknown status” or “does not desire to disclose” ... and if doc persists in wanting a conversation about “why” or otherwise, just say “our time is limited and i’d like to focus on the health issues i came in to consult with you about”
the Pneumovax 23 vax is 60-70% effective in preventing infection
Pneumovax 23 is an adjuvant-free vaccine, which is a very good thing ... the Pneumovax 23 is also a Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine, which means it’s not mRNA ... in fact, to the best of my knowledge none of the various pneumonia vaccines are mRNA ...
i think all but one of the various pneumonia vaccines are conjugate based, while one is polysaccharide based
Conjugate: A type of vaccine that joins a protein to an antigen in order to improve the protection the vaccine provides
Polysaccharide: A type of vaccine that is composed of long chains of sugar molecules that resemble the surface of certain types of bacteria in order to help the immune system mount a response: A type of vaccine that is composed of long chains of sugar molecules that resemble the surface of certain types of bacteria in order to help the immune system mount a response

bacterial pneumonia is deadly and usually occurs when the body is weakened in some way, such as by illness, poor nutrition, old age, or impaired immunity, and the bacteria are able to work their way into the lungs.
so you’ll have to decide your risk factor for getting such an infection vs taking the Pneumovax 23 vax ...
LOL so they say now. they will create a new reason to stir fear and get more people to take whatever their next phase shot is too.
Another good response is 26. Very informative.
I would tell my doctor to FO and treat me for what I’m there for. If you are going to the doctor for no reason then you should get 27 Covid boosters.
They are converting all the vaccines over to mRNA... verify before taking any vaccine.
had a good laugh, went in for second shingles shot, young lady offered the covid jab. i said over my dead body, she smiled and said “me too”
Had a bad reaction from the Prevnar 13 anti Pneumonia vaccine. Turns out one of the 13 dormant bacteria in the shot was not as dormant as thought. Took 3 different, 10 day, doses of strong antibiotics before I finally got rid of it. No pneumonia just terrible ear aches and infections into the inner ear.
There are good people on FR then there are the others.
