Another one here who has had it with no reaction.

I had mine a few years ago. I have a lot of allergies but was absolutely fine.

I had it a few years ago too. No side effects that I can remember.

I had it some years ago ( after a long stay in hospital for pneumonia). I don't remember any reaction other than the usual mild post vaccine arm.

I’ve had it, no bad reactions to it and it lasts for a few years. I thought it was worth it because a couple of friends had been extremely I’ll and ended up in hospital with it. My grandfather died of it. It can be every bit as bad and worse than Covid.

Has anyone had the pneumonia injection? My GP surgery has just rung and offered one to me and I have told the I'm going to think about it - seem to have had so many jabs recently.
