I had never had pneumonia until December of 2004 (and I NEVER want to have it again.) In October of 2005 I was in to see the doc for a seasonal flu shot. I asked her about a pneumonia vaccine. She said it would have to be ordered but when she got it she would let me know. The following week I was in there for that shot. I’d say if you have had it in the past they would provide the vaccine. Don’t sound good to me.
Just so there is no confusion on this matter my employer arranges flu shots at work for those who want them. They also provide pneumonia shots if you want one. I did. That is when I found out about the BS CDC guide lines even though I was willing to pay for it. I see my doctor in two weeks and will get the matter sorted out. I guess.
