What you should know about
pneumococcal pneumonia treatment.

People who get pneumococcal pneumonia are typically treated with antibiotics. That’s

bacteria become resistant to the antibiotic you are taking. According to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), antibiotic resistance “can cause illnesses that were once easily
treatable with antibiotics to become dangerous infections.” You can help protect yourself by getting your pneumococcal vaccination.
