Hi M2B; Yes, I have had it twice. The first time they said I could only have it once in my life and that it would be good for 10 years. 12 years later my doctor said 2nd shots were OK so I went for it. No side effects either time. The "pneumonia vaccine" was mandatory for me as I lost my spleen at 15 years old. If I get pneumonia, I die, that simple. The odds are bad for anyone over 60 as I reall. Something like 90% fatal.
