Fay A. Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 The Pneumo vaccine is given once every 5 years, and I have mine without fail. According to the recommendations of the CDC those with Lung Cancer, their caregivers and people living with them, should have their Flu Vaccines done No later than early October, but actually in September if possible. I had my Flu Shot the third week of September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
