[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 2300371, member: 245335"] I have regular flu jabs and had a pneumonia several years ago. I was initially told that it was for ten years and then I was told I didn't need it again. Confusing? I've had a little google and see that there is a particular vaccine that needs redoing every 5 years. "The Pneumovax 23 covers twenty three different variants of the pneumococcal bacteria. In healthy adults, revaccination is not indicated (necessary). Patients with underlying chronic disease should probably be revaccinated [B]every 5 years[/B]." I've not had any problems but my father refused because he wasn't bothered, pneumonia was one of several things on his death certificate. [/QUOTE]
