Do All Adults Need A Pneumonia Vaccination? Talk with our pharmacist about whether you need a Pneumococcal Immunization, which one is best for you, and when you should receive it. Pneumococcal vaccines are recommended based upon age, health, and prior vaccinations. Q: If I've had a Pneumococcal vaccine is there a chance I might need a Booster? A: The body's immune response can slowly decrease over time. Adults and some high-risk children who have gotten pneumococcal vaccines in the past may need a booster vaccine. Our pharmacist can help you decide if you need to consider another vaccine based on your age, particular health care issues and overall health status. Talk to our pharmacist today! Q: When's the best time of the year to get a pneumococcal vaccine? A: Our pharmacist normally recommends getting your pneumococcal vaccine in the fall or early winter. Here's why: - Pneumonia cases tend to peak during the colder months, from November to April. - The pneumococcal vaccine can be safely administered at the same time as the influenza (Flu) vaccine, which is typically recommended in the fall. So, now's the time to discuss your situation.
