Re:Pneumoccocal vaccine advised?

[Guest guest]

I have been told to get the pneumoccocal vaccine, and the flu shot. Iknow that, in general, the flu shot is generally advised forHIV-infected people, but what do you know about the convenience of thepneumoccocal vaccine?You should definitely get the pneumococcal vaccine. It's safe, and highly effective against one type of bacterial pneumonia that can be devastating to people with HIV. You have to get the pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine once, and then a repeat every five years or so.JB
