Vaccine for pneumonia for adults
Hi doctor,
Need suggestion on whether my grand mom can get a vaccine for pneumonia?
What would be the suggested one keeping her age in mind?
She's not having any existing disease or neither under any medication.
Would really appreciate a revert on this.
Thanks in advance.
