Hand washing: Sometimes the first event in bacterial pneumonia is catching a virus which breaks down natural defenses and allows for bacteria to proliferate. Certainly flu vaccine can help and avoiding activities that can lower immunity such as smoking, excessive alcohol, extreme stress including extreme exercise. Good sleeping habits can also help.
