Vaccination is possible. When vaccinating, observe the child for any allergic reactions or local redness and hard lumps. If any adverse symptoms occur, seek prompt treatment to avoid life-threatening situations. Although the pneumonia vaccine cannot completely prevent pneumonia, it can at least prevent a significant proportion of pneumonia cases in children and help reduce symptom severity, offering substantial benefits to children.
