Hi
I had this vaccine four years ago and now have got a letter from rheumy saying I need another as i have "low protection against most of the serotypes of pneumococcus".
I don't have a problem with this, anything to keep me from getting pneumonia. I just wondered if anyone else had had to repeat the jab as I remember the nurse saying you only had one jab for life. Obviously not if you have lupus.
Thanks
Sara
