Could It Be Pneumonia? A Dozen Warning Signs!

How Can You Avoid Pneumonia?

Let’s review:  Pneumonia is caused by microbes.  These microbes can be transmitted.  People with weak immune systems are at higher risk.  People with weakened lungs are at higher risk.  Given these facts, it is easy to deduce what you would need to do to prevent yourself from getting pneumonia (note:  at least lower the risk, you cannot really eliminate it).

Considering that pneumonia is caused by microbes, the first preventive measure is to get vaccinated.  Note that there are different vaccines for different types of pneumonia, although some vaccines are already a combination of vaccines against many types of pneumonia.  There are also differences in vaccines administered according to age.  It is best to check with your doctor for which vaccines are best for you.
