Yes it is. The flu vaccine does not inject any virus into you at all, and should be very rare to have effects, 'cept swollen arm sometimes, slight temperature and headaches in rare cases.
Pneumonia is bacterial, so can't think this has affected you at all, as the jab does also not contain any live bacteria.
