Hi Elizabeth! It's difficult to say, and nothing on this channel should ever serve as a substitute for medical advice, but immunologists will often use the pneumonia vaccine as a method of measuring someone's response to vaccines for diagnosis.
What was the reason given? My doctor advised that I do not take vaccines because I don't respond. My issue is not having immunity to the pneumococcal viruses.
If my immune system is already compromised why would my immunotherapy doctor want to give me the pneumococcus 23 vaccine superseded with the pcv20
