Since M. pneumoniae infections are almost exclusively mild, preventative measures are not normally recommended as necessary. But then, for some reason, people still can get vaccinated as recommended by physician.
Get vaccinated. Because pneumonia can be a complication of the flu, getting a yearly flu shot is a good way to prevent viral influenza pneumonia, which can lead to bacterial pneumonia. Your doctor may recommend a pneumonia vaccine if you're a smoker, if you're younger but have a lung or cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, diabetes or sickle cell anemia, if your immune system is compromised or if you've had your spleen removed for any reason.
Get flu shot. Yearly flu shot can help to prevent pneumoniae since viral pneumoniae may develop from influenza.
