Re: Re: pneumonia shots Re: [RSS-Suppot)Inga huges

For my husband he only needed one until he's 65, but perhaps it's different

for young children? Did she actually get the vaccine then still get

pneumonia? I'm glad to hear the vitamins are helping! I used those when

my son kept getting sleep apnea before his tonsillectomy. Probably a good

idea to remember as flu season is approaching...

Hi Inga

Yes unfortunatally did contract pneumonia

even with receiving the shots, at that stage the

Bronchiectasis(She was not able to cough out flem, and

that was the main area of infection)was bad and she

had no own immune respons, only got better when she

started to use human immunoglobulin.
