Peter and I have both had the pneumococcal pneumoinia vaccine in 1985--it is a ONE time ONLY shot. We also have flu shots every year with no problems. 1985 was 4 years before Peter diagnosed himself, but he had what now appear to have been PD symptoms for more than 10 years before that!Hope this helps. >Last week my internist suggested I get the pneumonia vaccine >and also the flu vaccineSNIPPED > >Any comments based upon fact would be welcome, 'cause I >recognize I've gotta make up my mind whether to have one or both of the >vaccines within the next coupla-three weeks. > >Thanks a lot.... > >Barb Mallut >[log in to unmask] > > > >>> Camilla Flintermann, CG for Peter 80/9 Oxford,OH <[log in to unmask]> http://www.newcountry.nu/pd/members/camilla/one.htm ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Ask me about the CARE list for ** ** Parkinson's caregivers ! ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **
