VO: Joe Montana, Hall of Fame, MVP, four-time championship-winning quarterback. Competitive vegetable grower? Joe’s taking his shot at some new things. And because, like millions of Americans, he’s at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia...

Joe: Taking my shot also means I’m getting my shot.

VO: Just like anyone else aged 65 or older, or those 19 or older with certain underlying medical conditions like asthma or diabetes, Joe is at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia, a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that could put you in the hospital, and he knows that vaccination is one of the best ways to help protect himself.

Joe: Time to call on my defense. Hey, schedule pneumococcal pneumonia vaccination.

Robot: As your digital assistant, I don’t need vaccination.

Joe: I meant for me.

Robot: Please confirm you are age 19 to 64 with an underlying medical condition like asthma, COPD, diabetes, or chronic heart disease. Or 65 or older.

Joe: Confirmed.

VO: Because when it comes to pneumococcal pneumonia, Joe’s offensive line isn’t there to protect him. He’s just like everyone else. So whatever you’re taking your shot at, be like Joe.

Joe: How do you say pneumococcal pneumonia vaccination in Spanish?

App: Vacunación contra la neumonía neumocócica.

Robot: Go to KnowPneumonia.com to learn more about pneumococcal pneumonia risk and vaccination information.

Joe: Get your shot. Then, take your shot. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about pneumococcal pneumonia vaccination and understand your risk at KnowPneumonia.com.
