I had pneumonia in 2012, not a good time. Took a pneumonia vaccine last year & the next one when I hit 65.
Got the shot one time, got the flu later that year. Never had the flu before or since.
How far apart is that? I am 74, had the pneumonia shot 5y ago, and IIRC was told I will not need another.
I have been taking the flu shot for 35y and never had it, but I do have chronic bronchitis and asthma so am a prime candidate for them. I think if you are over 50, you are asking for trouble not taking it.

Speaking of vaccines, I just got my Shingles shot.
(for geezers who have had Chickenpox.)
You really don't wanna get Shingles.
