Yes, one pneumonia shot and a booster is all we get. As for flu, every year since there are different strains each year.

I get yearly flu vaccines and pneumonia isn't a yearly injection. Depends on age. But one at 55 and a booster about 5 years later according to my doctor.

Hi Patricia I had a tetanus shot and pneumonia shot a flu shot last year and have not had a cold virus or flu virus so far so getting these shots is very important in staying healthy.
