Can a pneumonia shot cause pneumonia?

In: Health, Conditions and Diseases, Pneumonia [Edit categories]

Answer:

No it can't, because a shot contains a changed form of the virus/bacteria but still similar so your immune system can create the antibodies to kill the pneumonia virus/bacteria if you come in to contact with it again so you wont get ill from it. The shot may make you feel ill for a few days but it is not strong enough to give you the actual disease. The only way you could get it if the virus/bacteria hadn't been change properly (that wouldn't happen, so just ignore that i said that) or if you had been in contact with a serious disease/illness within the last 6 weeks, and they ask you that before they give it to you so in that case you will not be given the shot until 6 weeks.
