Has anyone had the pneumonia shot? I only ask because when I get pleurisy it is usually with bronchitis or pneumonia and the doctors said I should get a shot.

My doctors have me get the flu shot every year and I get a pneumonia vaccine every 5 years. During the years after my first pneumonia vaccine, I did not get bronchitis at all. I did get it one year, but it was not bad and that's when they told me to get it every 5 years. I'm high risk for a number of reasons, so I qualify for it.
