A member asked:
Doctors, can my 4 year old daughter with pulmonary tunercolosis still have pneumonia vaccine ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The pneumonia vaccine is not a live vaccine and should be safe. Pumonary TB is a mycobacterial infection. This is not related to the "pneumonia vaccine" which protects against Strep pneumoniae.
