Not very often. The bug usually only takes hold and causes symptoms when a person is compromised in some other way.

I had pneumonia when I was 22 but it was after I had the flu. My sister, who has allergies and asthma, had pneumonia multiple times throughout her childhood.

A healthy young adult should never get pneumonia! There are inoculations to prevent this disease. See your doctor.

Depends on if they have multiple allergies and live without medications in a place where those allergies are always active. I had pneumonia several times while growing up, and it was always due to "backup" mucous from untreated allergies....
