Pneumonia: Typically pneumonia does not recur at any set time. It is more common in people who smoke, have immune deficiency or have pulmonary issues.

Not accurate.: That is not the norm. At age 17 if you had pneumonia a year ago - you have already demonstrated that it did not return within 6 months of infection.
