Until last week I had never heard of a pneumonia injection, we had our flu injections a few weeks ago and our GP did not mention the pneumonia one. My wife attended a different clinic to have a skin spot on her nose checked and that GP asked whether we had had our pneumonia injections. Long story short we each had that injection.:2tsup:

The ones that they give us here need to be renewed about every 10 years.
