Pneumonia vaccination
Not wanting to hijack the thread re Wrinkly's death I'm posting here instead.
As galty mentioned on that thread, there is a vaccination available. But this vaccination ONLY prevents pneumococcal pneumonia, one of very many different types of pneumonia. It is an effective vaccine, but does not mean you will not get pneumonia from other causes, which is very common in old and debilitated people.
For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure that Wrinkly said he had the jab, and I didn't want people to think otherwise in view of galty's comment.
