I know personally three different people who have had MRSA pnuemonia. I myself am battling pnuemonia that keeps recurring. My husband has had it, my mother inlaw just got out of the hospital with it and now my son has it. But the doctors shrug me off laughing when I mention what a coincidence that all these people are 'catching' (which they tell me that pnuemonia isn't contagious) pnuemonia. Something is up this year.
I started getting pnuemonia 1-2 times a year since 1994. I got the pnuemonia vaccine in 2003 and haven't had it since. The vaccine lasts the rest of your life (I hope).
