Do vaccines against pneumonia protect you against the new coronavirus? No. Vaccines against pneumonia, such as pneumococcal vaccine and Haemophilus influenza type B (Hib) vaccine, do not provide protection against the new coronavirus. The virus is so new and different that it needs its own vaccine. Researchers are trying to develop a vaccine against 2019-nCoV, and WHO is supporting their efforts. |
Geoffkait: There is actually a lot of information (called facts) out there that you might be interested in knowing. If you had the virus or lost someone to it, I bet you would not be so cavalier about the lies and incompetence that caused months of critical delays in testing that has been at least partly responsible for loss of life and the serious health issues that some with the virus have. Not to mention the economy. Yes, there is no known cure right now, but if testing began months ago, we could have quarantined those who tested positive much earlier and instituted some of the present measures weeks ago. It would have flattened the curve of the spread in its infancy---the most critical time to do so. Plus, we would be closer to a cure than we are today. In fact, the old government infrastructure that existed to prevent or ameliorate the impacts of potential pandemics on U.S. citizens would have been "on this" and starting to develop measures and cures in December, 2019 instead of March 2020. Perhaps you would give the President a rating of 10 out of 10 for his response to the crisis as he did. I am "over it" as you call it-- because we can only look forward now. But I do know and will not forget how we got here. |
assetmngrsc: Yes, there are pneumonia vaccines, but they only protect one from Streptococcus pneumonia. And one specifically for H flu. There are many types of pneumonia: bacterial, mycoplasma, fungal and other less common types. A short list of some bacterial: Streptococcal, staphylococcal, peptostreptococcal, Bacillus anthracis, Nocardia, Actinomyces, Neisseria meningitidis, Moraxella catarrhalis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Yersinia pestis, Francisella tularensis, Chlamydia pneumoniae....... And the list goes on. Then there are the different types of fungal or viral, etc. Treatment for these are not 100% in an otherwise healthy person. Take someone sick from COVID-19 with its pathology and add another infection (a pneumonia of another kind) and treatment is less effective. Vaccines and antibiotics help your body fight the infection. If your body is already weakened.... YES! Everyone under the age of 2 and over the age of 65 should be vaccinated, but is not a one and done thing. |
