If the information you provided is true, that you and spouse received a dose at age 65 you are done, no more needed pneumonia shots. Clear and understood? If you don't believe my post, and there is no reason you should, please click on the links I provided giving the CDC and ACIP guidance for the shot. Just to further confuse you, 2 weeks ago the ACIP proposed adding the pediatric PCV-13 vaccine which is a different with some overlap set of antigens. Should this recommendation be accepted then there will be a suggestion of a different pneumonia vaccine to be given 12 + months after the PCV-23. But that is completely new and not implemented. Note the word preview in the link.

blueash: wow! all I thought I said was CVS told me I didn't need it. what brought this issue back to me was an article in WSJ referencing your above-stated references. That is why i said I would go back and check because the article conflicted with what CVS told me. I try to post with the intent that I do not seek argument and only present my opinion but understandably it can happen that a subject touches a nerve.
