It is especially serious for young children and older people. It can cause pneumonia, bloodstream infection and meningitis (inflammation of the membranes around the brain). Vaccination is a safe and effective way to protect you from pneumococcal disease. When my doctor offered it to me I declined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
