pneumonia

Avatar n tn m assuming you are referring to the Pneumovax 23? This is the pneumonia vaccine that is recommended as routine for those age 50+ or persons age 2 or older with certain chronic conditions or in certain environmental or social situations...
Avatar n tn She told me she got the gardisil shots a few years back. How long does the shots last? I really dont want her to get it. Can anyone help?
Avatar f tn About 3 months later, I was told I should take the Covid vaccine when able. After my first Covid vaccine, I had a relapse of headaches, body aches, chills, fever, and difficulty breathing for another month. I was re-evaluated and informed my lungs were still damaged and I needed to continue with my night time oxygen. My continual headaches persisted for over 11 months.
Avatar f tn A viral infection does not cause pneumonia. A viral infection can however leave the body susceptible to pneumonia bacteria that it would otherwise be able to defend against. As a middle-aged adult I am thinking of getting pneumonia vaccine as well. My doctor thinks that the current vaccine - which protects against 23 specific strains of pneumonia - is probably not of much use to an adult because adults are typically stricken by strains of pneumonia not defended by the current vaccine.
Avatar m tn I understand that most of the people who are hospitalised mainly die as a result of pneumonia. Does this mean that anybody who has had a pneumonia vaccination will be protected from this aspect of the infection and therefore have a greater chance of survival?
Avatar f tn I think you need to wait a month or two after your third shots and that the time for you to check your HBsAb ( its the antiboby not the antigen).In your case, you will have your third shots January of next year (2009) so have yourself tested either Feb or March.

Avatar f tn Has anyone with CFS had the pneumonia vaccine Pneumo 23 and what was your experience of it?
Avatar m tn What happened in the long run? My 5 yr old got the same vaccine within 1 month of each other by mistake. I'm so nervous what can happen. Please respond ASAP.
Avatar n tn We were advised to give her a flu shot and pneumonia vaccines. It is most likely the pneumonia vaccine that is causing the pain and the lump. She had a SEVERE reaction to the vaccine. Her arm swelled. The shot site was huge, very red, very swollen (have never seen anything like it). She also, became extremely, extremely ill (unstoppable vomitting, high fever). She was sooo sick. I had the same vaccines at the same time. the flu shot did not hurt at all.
Avatar n tn You did not mention how long this has been going on. If it has just occurred recently it may be a kennel cough infection (tracheobronchitis), If it has been going on since birth it could be tracheal collapse. If it has been occurring since birth but has gotten worse recently, it could be tracheal collapse with a secondary bronchitis or pneumonia. You really must take her to the vet. Kennel cough is easily treated with antibiotics and cough medicine.
Avatar n tn I am so stressed and miserable already less than 24 hours into it.. my son too.. How long does the worst part last? I am really fine with laying around in bed resting but I can't sleep due to my head and wanting to hurl and tummy pain... Please give advice.... I spent $30 on juice and soup for us so that we would have something - I am drinking and forcing my son to drink though he argues repetitively...
147426 tn?1317265632 As many of you know I feel strongly about this, especially in light of the huge amount of ignorant or malicious misinformation out the on the net about it. My background is pediatrics with post-doc fellowship in Immunology. I speak from a standpoint of real knowledge and having made the choice to dedicate my career to improving the lives of children. I am going to formulate this sort of like an FAQ. 1) SHOULD A PERSON WITH MS GET THE FLU SHOT CONTAINING INACTIVATED VIRUS?
620048 tn?1358018235 Well, my father-in-law was in the last group getting that vaccine - before they took that dangerous vaccine off the market. That vaccine killed him. He was gone within a month of having received the swine flu vaccine. I later met at least a half dozen people who had been disabled in different ways from that vaccine - but I never ever met anyone who had actually gotten the swine flu!! Go figure!!
898849 tn?1241811271 How important is it to get the flu and/or pneumonia vaccine, being that I have heart failure. I just heard about the recent death in Washington where the individual had a heart condition, pneumonia and swine flu. I was recently diagnosed with CHF in January, so all this is still very new to me.
Avatar n tn I have asthma and 4 years ago I had pneumonia year after year. Than I started getting the pneumonia vaccine. I had no side effects from it expect no pneumonia.
Avatar m tn So I am just wondering, as I have may have been exposed to these bats or their saliva unknowingly, how long will a post exposure rabies vaccine (with no booster) immunity last? I try to google the above, but did not really find any solid answers as some sites place the immunity as years "if" one take a booster 1 year after the post exposure shots. So any input or advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Thank you, mkh9 - I know it sounds crazy or like I am an 'anti vaccine enthusiast' or something, which I never was and truly did not think for a second that the pneumonia vaccine would cause such similar side effects but after those 2 events 12 years apart I am very concerned about what is in the vaccines other than the 'active ingredients'.
Avatar n tn I got swine flu on July 3rd 2009, my temperture was 103 went to the hospital they put me in isolation for 2 weeks, my oxygen was 61, it was horrible could not breath, I am not a smoker that probably save me from alot more suffering, but the flu gave me an pneumonia and nodules and infiltration in both lungs, the doctor tells me now I have boop, I wish the swine flu vaccine was available before I got sick but it was'nt, I was one of the first to have swine flu at this hospital, I hear now the
163305 tn?1333668571 t get into nursing homes or assisted living facilities without having flu or pneumonia vaccines; pretty soon the elderly will have to have the shingles/zoster vaccine before they can enter a nursing home or ALF, then it will be the MMR, DPT - what the heck is that if not mandatory? Pretty soon I won't be able to visit my grandchild's school or my elderly loved one in the nursing home or ALF if I don't have these vaccines?
Avatar n tn This is the first time I've seen a doctor refer to HOW LONG symptoms of reactions would last. I got the third Gardasil shot May 20th, and have gradually developed a rash all over my face. In addition to a mild seizure and several migraines, as well as swollen lymph nodes and chills, I am convinced this is from the shot and I am terrified that it is going to last a long time. If it's an allergic reaction, then I can't exactly get rid of the Gardasil can I.
250084 tn?1303307435 Lauri girl, Don't wait until "next year" to get the pneumonia vaccine. Do it as soon as Doc Nelson says it's "o.k." they are not an annual vaccine like the flu vaccine. You can get them any time of year. Just m ake sure you get a booster every 5 years. Missy P.S. Other than not being able to breath from my hgb, riba rash on my face, cracking in the corners of my mouth, nausea a few times a week, and my shedding head of hair, I feel not too bad LOL.
1930700 tn?1327064904 It is recommended that as we get older to get the pneumonia vaccine and the shingles vaccine. Also, the Tetnus Diptheria booster shot is recommended since many of us have not had it for years. I have asthma, so I have been getting the flu vaccine since 1980. My doctor was not sure I needed the shilgles vaccine but I had done some research and I knew it was recommended. Plus I had a case of shingles in 1994 and I don't ever want to have another case.
Avatar f tn Hello I had COVID and pneumonia 3 weeks ago. I tested negative for COVID today and have no symptoms I'm just dealing with the pneumonia now which should be a few more weeks hopefully til I'm 100. Should I get the vaccine now or is it best to wait??
