    I'd ask your doctor about it. They will know whether he'd be partly covered, and what the medical consequences of partial coverage would be if he caught the disease - maybe it would protect him from the worst symptoms or maybe it wouldn't (I am not a medical doctor and have no idea).

    They can also tell you what the incidence of pneum disease is in your area, so you can get an idea of how high a risk you'd be taking if he isn't covered by two immunisations.

    Thanks for that. I just find GP"S so biased that I know they'll tell me to get it and Im not sure I'll get a two sided answer. Anyway, will give Doc a call and voice my concerns. Thanks again xo
