Today I called the Doctors to make and appointment to get my Flu shot. I told the secretary that I also wanted the Pneumonia shot also. I never had that one before, but thought ay my age, I should have it. She said that it was all one shot. I have never heard that before. I understood that the Pneumonia shot was one that lasted 5 years. The Flu shot was a yearly thing. She is not a nurse, just the secretary. Is she correct?
I will question this when I get there, but I would like to know if anyone heard of a two in one shot, fot the Flu and Pneumonia.

When I got mine(flu and pneoumina) shots it was two shots and I was told the pneoumina was good for 5 years, but the flu I had to get yearly. Yes, I would question it when you get there.
