I think it's absolutely necessary. I got a flu shot, the regular pneumonia shot and the new pneumonia shot. I haven't been sick in over 2-years. COPD compromises our immune system and I used to get colds, especially with any change in the weather. The good Lord and those shots have certainly helped me. Be well.
Absolutely get all three and then a flu shot every year.
Have anyone had a lung transplant are know of anyone . If so how are they doing .
Unless you have allergies to something in the vaccine you should have both pneumonia shots and a flue shot every year. Definitely talk to your doctor. Hugs
I went to pulmonary rehab with someone who just underwent a double lung transplant. She says she feels wonderful and is almost back to doing everything she used to do. She did end up in the hospital for 3 months before they let her go home. She is so lucky to have a very supportive husband and family. She said it was worth all the hard work. Are you going for it? Good luck to you, Sandra!
