Know it under another name, pneumonococcal disease, and only because being a diabetic this was one of the first vaccinations I was given, along with the seasonal flu jab.

Billy added this question to recent 'YBS sickness, birds dying' thread. I've split it from that thread and posted it here as it may be of interest, and other members may be in a position to share their experiences with Billy.
