Revaccination is only recommended in persons with renal failure, those who have had splenectomies, those with malignancies, and those with HIV/AIDS. Because the pneumococcal vaccine is made of antigens from 23 types of pneumococcus, a type of bacteria, it only protects against bacterial pneumonias.
