Can you catch an pneumonia just by being near someone?

Yes, if the type of pneumonia the person has is caused by bacteria or viruses. Just like any other communicable disease, it will spread from person to person. Some forms of pneumonia are not due to infectious organisms and they are not communicable. Use good hand washing and prevention techniques to avoid catching it from someone infected.
