Community Acquired Pneumonia
Percent of Patients Given Pneumococcal Vaccination

The pneumococcal vaccine may help you prevent or lower the risk of complications of pneumonia caused by bacteria. It may also help you prevent future infections. Patients with pneumonia should be asked if they have been vaccinated recently for pneumonia and, if not, should be given the vaccine.

Higher percentages are better.
