Why not just get the annual pneumonia shot? It's covered by insurance. JonathanRackham Sep 2016 #3

Walking pneumonia. In the beginning I sometimes felt lousy, sometimes felt okay, and continued to work. But then I visited my sisters in Massachusetts and they talked sense into me, I got diagnosed and took my antibiotics and rested. After a few days I was fine.

Of course it can be much worse than that, but it looks like Hillary is having about what I had.

I'm not talking flu shot, talking pneumonia shot. Available c/o insurance at your corner pharmacy.

Take care of yourself folks.

It also doesn't cover viral pneumonias.
