No it's a completely separate jab...

Pneumococcal vaccination - NHS Choices

Interestingly I haven't been offered this one though the indications are that I fulfil the criteria. I don't know of anyone who has had or been offered it, it seems to be much lower profile than the flu jab. Though it is a one-off rather than an annual thing.
