A few years ago I was "held hostage" during an admission by my nurses until I agreed to it. I knew I needed it, but HATE shots.

I ended up getting the pneumonia & flu (one in each arm by a nurse) that time LOL! They figured they better get it while they could <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif" border="0">

I used to ask my CF doctor at a large adult clinic if I shouldn't get the pneumonia vaccine. He said no. All my regular docs (internist, gynecologist, allergist) were amazed. I've never had one.

They start them right from when they are kids. Emily got her first one this yr.

Without a chronic health condition you generally don't need one until you are age 65+ or live in a nursing home-type environment.

IMO, for anyone whose cf dr says it's not needed but internist/primary care dr says yes... I'd have the internist do it! It will only help you; your cf dr is not the only one that can give you good medical advice, kwim?
