Vaccinations

Had my flu shot this month, at SunMed. Next one due in March next year.

It worked well for the last year, and kept us both flu-free. Yay.

I was vaccinated for Pneumonia last year - 2018. It needs to be repeated every five years. I had the PCV13.  So, the next one should be in 2023.

What Types of Pneumococcal Vaccines Are There?
  • Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13 or Prevnar 13®)
  • Pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPSV23 or Pneumovax23®)


From my reading, PH patients should get both the vaccines. They should be given one year apart.
