My doctor wants me to get the shingles and pneumonia vaccines. Technically I’m not at that age yet, but due to the biologics they said I now qualify. Has anyone taken them while on biologics?

I am a newly diagnosed patient with Spondylosis. My condition is very advanced, considering I'm just 33 years old. I have a plethora of non pain related symptoms all day everyday in Conjunction with my pain and limited mobility. Is this considered an autoimmune disease too?
