COPD and pneumonia

I developed COPD from 30 years of fiberglass and body work and 30 years of smoking. I am now well within the third stage on oxygen at night and I now have pneumonia. I had the prevnar 13 pneumonia shot a year or so ago and still wound up with pneumonia. but I guess if I have not took the shot then I would be in critical care right now is what they tell me so everyone needs to get the prevnar 13 shot it could save your life. I feel miserable but it could be a whole lot worse my symptoms are quite regular now but I am not giving up. I will always continue to fight so please all you folks with COPD do not give up.
