I was told by my doctor that my pneumonia jab was for life but i see on healthtap doctors say pneumonia vaccine is needed every 5 or 6 yrs is it true?

Age 65yr get 2 types: We have 2 types of pneumococcal pneumonia vaccines in the US. Babies and toddlers are routinely given pneumonia vaccines. Anyone who has bad lung disease, or has a weakened immune system, may get a pneumonia vaccine. Normal, healthy, non-smoking, young or middle-aged adults may not benefit from a pneumonia vaccine if the vaccine doesn't boost their immunity to pneumococcus by a noticeable amount.
