3 years ago, recovering from dual knee replacement surgery, an old male nurse talked me into a pneumonia shot.
Couple of years later at a checkup, doctor said the first shot wasn't good enough so wanted to give me another. I hate needles, but did it.
always wonder whose making money off of these extra shots, when one was good enough 3 years ago?
well, the reason for two shots is that there are actually two pneumonia vacines, each protects for quite a few strains of bacterial pneumonia, but they can't be given together. You must wait one year between the shots.
