Flu and pneumonia are both lower respiratory infections. Pneumonia is generally what kills you because it fills the lungs with pus or water. That can ok nset quickly and be difficult to manage because flu tx means pumping water into you via IV.
The pneumonia shot uh s a good idea. Its no guarantee but even if you catch it it should be less severe. But if you had it some years ago check with your doc as you will need to have a second treatment. The original formula wasnt quite right and stops working.
Thank you, good advice.
You can get pneumonia from lying in bed with any viral or bacteria illness, or even after surgery which is why they make you get up quickly and start moving around. Being upright and moving helps your lungs flush that fluid out so it doesn't breed pathogens.
