A member asked:
Can you still get pneumonia if you had the vaccine i got vaccinated and my mom thinks im going to get it?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, pneumonia remains possible as there are many other viral and bacterial species and the vaccine only protects against specific strains of pneumococcus.

If you mean you are vaccinated against Covid -19, you are unlikely to get pneumonia from a SARS CoV-2 infection, however, it does not preclude pneumonia from other viruses and bacteria.
