There are more than one strain of pneumonia. Your vaccine protected you from whichever strains are included in that vaccine. The pneumonia you got, would be for one of the strains of pneumonia that are not covered by the vaccine.
Just like if I get a flu shot against everything except avian flu - and end up getting avian flu. It's because the shot didn't include that particular strain of flu.
