  I have been offered the pneumococcal vaccine by my GP as I am over 65. I have had mild to moderate ME/CFS for about 10 years. My immediate reaction was to say NO WAY, as I find any infection causes a crash that lasts for weeks. I also understand that vaccinations can sometimes trigger ME/CFS, or cause a relapse of existing ME/CFS. […] Healthy people do not appear to have any significant problems with side-effects from this vaccine. Minor side effects can include a mild fever and soreness and/or swelling at the injection site. Serious side-effects appear to be very rare. […] I only know of a small number of people with ME/CFS who have received the vaccination so far and we have not received any reports of significant reactions occurring. But that is no guarantee that you will not have any side-effects, or an exacerbation of your ME/CFS symptoms. If there are good indications for having this protection (and a pneumococcal infection would probably cause a significant relapse in ME/CFS), it is something that you should seriously consider and discuss with your GP.

  Anyone of any age can get pneumonia, a lower respiratory tract infection that causes coughing, fever, chest pain, and, in severe cases, breathing trouble, which can lead to the need for supplemental oxygen or even mechanical ventilation. […] The danger of any kind of pneumonia is that it makes the air sacs in one or both lungs fill up with fluid or pus, which can lead to breathing problems and, in the worst cases, respiratory failure. Typically, an infection first occurs in an individual’s nose, says Dr. Roberts. Some people are able to clear it, and they’re fine. But if not, the infection goes deeper, and the person experiences lower respiratory tract symptoms, such as cough, fever, chest pain, chills, and difficult or rapid breathing. […] If you do get pneumococcal pneumonia, it can be treated with antibiotics. But prevention is always better than treatment, Dr. Roberts says. S. pneumoniae is a different beast because it can lead to invasive disease really quickly.
