As silverfox stated, "this depends". Pneumonia signifies fluid in the lungs. If the fluid is due to an active bacterial infection (yellowish color of expectorant) you can endanger others by coughing and aerosolizing bacteria. As a rule of thumb, you will be contagious until the expectorant disappears or becomes colorless.

1) that the pneumonia is caused by an uncommon bacterium or a non-bacterial infectious agent, one only partially susceptible to the antibiotics your son has received; 2) that the infection resides elsewhere in the body, such as an abscess in the heart or even in the lungs, and is recurrently ‘seeding’ bacteria to the lungs; and 3) that the pneumonia is a non-infectious process, which is much less likely.
