I just had another pneumonia shot while in the hospital for a total knee replacement. I was told that I needed to get one every five years, so they no longer tell people that one shot will last a lifetime.
I've been getting annual flu shots for at least 20 years and have never had a bad reaction although I did get a nasty case of the flu once despite having the shot.
