Is pneumonia vaccine safe for pregnant women?

Pneumococcal vaccine: The short answer is: ideally, the vaccine should be given prior to conception, but the indications for administration are not altered by pregnancy. Human or animal studies have not been conducted. Inactivated vaccines have not been shown to cause increased risks to the fetus (cdc, 2011). In summary, if there there should be a good indication.

Yes: The pneumoccal vaccines (more than one) are composed of non living material and pose no risk to the developing fetus.They can be given as indicated at any point in pregnancy. Some practitioners avoid use in the first trimester out of a sense of caution, but there are no documented problems when it has been given during that period.
