Pneumonia vaccine for SLE patient
I am a 61 yr old SLE female. Should I take the pneumonia vaccination?
Patients aged between 18 to 64 with weakened immune systems or other medical conditions are advised to take the pneumococcal vaccination.
However, the CHAS GP doctor will still assess your current condition and advise you accordingly during your visit.
