Stretch,

I have one every 10 years with no side effects.

Thanks,

VA told me I should take the Pneumonia Vaccine every 5 years. I passed this year.

I take it every 5 years and dont miss it.

Folks whose Diaphragms that do not work properly are at high risk for Pnumonia.

Yep, I had one a few weeks ago, first time. The nurse who gave it to me said take a couple of tylenols after. I didn't take the tylenols and it did make my joints achy, especially shoulders for a couple of days. Still glad I got thought.

Well, hell, let's hope that the rumours of your "passing" were highly overstated?

Maybe you shoulda taken that shot after all?
