Immunisation

[Cobra3164]

Hello all. A very quick but simple question, after seeing my diabetic nurse she indicated to me that I need 2 injections one for seasonal flu yep ok I can see that, then she said the other was immunisation against phneumonia now that one I do not get as it can be cause by a simple rhino virus most responsible virus for flu and colds has anyone else ever received that injection or been told about it. Just doesnt calculate to me.

All my best

I recently went for my flu vaccination and was also given the pneumonia one as well. I had pneumonia last January and I don't want it again so I was glad of the vaccination.
