It seems that the NHS wants to preserve me forever and, having officially become 'an old-age pensioner', I have been invited to partake of a 'pneumonia inoculation'.
I've read varying reports of the effectiveness of this particular one-off jab and I wonder if anyone on here has any knowledge or views on the subject. My doubts have been furthered by an old neighbour who is currently in hospital with pneumonia despite having had the jab some years ago.
I've read that that the inoculation covers a large number of strains of Pneumococcus and I just wonder if the organism mutates too fast for us to keep up. Maybe Lygo has a view on the matter?
Cheers
