Pneumonia Vaccine and Bronchitis: Can You Get Vaccinated?
Yes. Bronchitis (bronchial inflammation) does not contraindicate the pneumonia vaccine (pneumococcal vaccine). The vaccine protects against Streptococcus pneumoniae, a common pneumonia cause, and may prevent secondary pneumonia complicating bronchitis. No increased side effect risk.
