Yesterday my husband was advised by the chest specialist to ask to have another pneumonia jab as it is way past 10 years since he had a previous one....I decided I too would ask for one and we have been advised to attend our GP next week.
My question is has anyone on here had the said jab ?? if so any info would be welcome,thank you in advance !!

Yes I had one when I first had a flu jab....except that it wasn't a jab it was drops taken orally.

I had one years ago and it was in my arm.

My diabetic OH was given one last year alongside his flu vaccination - no ill effects at all. Presumably, the immunity lasts more than a year as he wasn't offered one this autumn.

I had one too, maybe 6 or 7 years ago now - it didn't cause any problems at all
