A member asked:

Does pneumonia vaccine prevent other lung diseases such as copd and asthma?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: The pneumonia vaccine only protects from infection with pneumococcal organism. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
