What Is It & Who’s At Risk?
Pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious disease you shouldn’t ignore. It can disrupt your life for weeks and even land you in the hospital.
The immune system naturally weakens with age, so even if you’re healthy and active, being 65 or older is a key risk factor for pneumococcal pneumonia.
Other factors like certain chronic health conditions further increase pneumococcal pneumonia risk in adults 19 and older compared with healthy adults of same age. With each chronic condition your risk increases further.
