A member asked:
As a patient with common variable immune disease, is there a purpose to getting the pneumonnical vaccine (not knowing if i'll make any antibodies)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely yes...: Talk it over with your dr for your specific situation, but ask yourself how protective it will be if you don't get it? It has very limited downside, and if had to, could be repeated if your immune system happened to be on holiday.
