re: Pneumonia vaccine

I have an elderly uncle that went to the hospital for pneumonia day before yesterday and was diagnosed with pneumonia. He does not have COVID, but since the hospital is full of Covid patients, he was not able to get a room…they have been treating him in the hall of the hospital for two days. I have had the Covid vaccine, but I will be getting the pneumonia and the shingles vaccine as soon as they will give them to me.

Being in the hospital is a terrible experience for everyone involved. It is far easier to take 15 minutes to get vaccines when offered.
