Common Questions and Answers about Pneumonia vaccine what you need to know
pneumonia
I haven't started treatment yet but will next month. I had additional blood work to test for Hep A & B exposure. The results showed I have been exposed to A so I don't need the vaccine but I do need the vaccine for Hep B. My doctor told me I should get it before I start my treatment. He also suggested I get a flu shot.
Is this normal?
The chief medical officer for Ontario, Canada says there is no proof that the so called "second wave" of flu in the 1919 outbreaks that killed so many people was even the same strain. He says the widespread media talk that the second wave was the strongest may therefore be bunk, if there was no second wave.
He also says the second big media myth is we are overdue for a pandemic.
As we all know a portion of the virus with an anti - fighter is in the vaccine itself to guard us from the flu strain that is air bourne.
Yet what I remember reading when the virus itself it present in a weak immune system the counteract is not has benificial guarding us from getting it.
I don't remember reading much on the Hep B thing - I do remember it was mentioned.
You don't say if you had covid pneumonia or some other form. At any rate, the person to ask is your doctor.
It may not cause much harm except that it may interfere to some extent with the immune response to the vaccine. Pneumonia vaccine is an inactivated vaccine containing only a portion of the microbe; therefore the vaccines cannot possibly cause pneumococcal disease. Neither will it cause any permanent immune system damage. It should in no way cause any serious future consequences. Do consult a local health care provider and discuss all your concerns. Hope it helps. Do keep us posted.
I would get patch tested if you want to really know. I need to have that done because I am allergic to almost all topical antibiotics except erythromycin. I know it may be from over use or it could be a common ingredient. The dermatologist told me this, it wasn't my idea. So, I'm not surprised that this could happen. If you really want to find out try getting patch tested. I haven't done it because I don't want to itch. I am sick of itching.
Because I have two implanted Neurostimulators, I have to be very careful amd try prevent any bacteria from spreading into my leads
Are their some pictures of pneumonia mucus, so that I could compare know if I need to get additional help?
The clinic doctor on campus gave me Azithromycin 250 MG tabs. I had to take two today and for the next four days will take one tablet. If I do have pneumonia or etc, would this antibiotic fight it?
Sorry for the long post.
Sorry to hear you had a second bout. I am recovering from my first that began in September and still struggling to have enough energy to work regularly. I had a Pneumovax yesterday which was a relief given my fear of another bout.
From what I read on the web they just suggest getting a second shot after a minimum of five years if you are under 65 when you get your first.
I am in Canada and maybe the rules are different here, but it makes no sense to me for you not to be able to get one.
organism that was not the initial infection that you get when you have lowered immunity due to the virus or some other condition. You can also get bacterial pneumonia as a secondary infection. Bacterial pneumonia is usually caused by a bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. It is a bacteria that can be in the throat or respiratory tract in small numbers and it can be normal bacteria until someone gets run down due to a viral infection, fungal infection or other reasons.
