The pneumonia vaccination guidelines for older adults have just been updated. The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) now recommends people 65 years or older get vaccinated for pneumonia twice, 12 months apart, each time using a different type of vaccine, instead of getting vaccinated once.1 People who receive the two types of vaccines may be better protected against over 90 types of pneumococcal bacteria.2
