My boyfriend got viral pneumonia. he got it after having the flu (he didn't get a flu shot). he says he has been taking antibiotics for nine days. i got a flu shot. how likely am i to get sick from kissing him now?

Viral flu.: antibiotics will not help viral pneumonia. I would say the likelyhood is not zero but not great either. Time will tell.
