The "Pneumonia" vaccination is formulated to protect against the Streptococcus agent that causes a very nasty and fatal pneumonia that is severe in the elderly and immunocompromized. It is specific against pneumococcal pneumonia and doesn't protect against Staphylococcal or any other viral or fungal types of pneumonia. I understand that the pneumococcal vaccination has some good immunity that lasts for up to five years.

Thanks! I'll be sure and get to the doctor if my temperature trends up or I feel worse.
