It seems the COVID 19 itself is causing pneumonia, so that pneumonia vaccine will likely have no effect.
I agree, unfortunately only a specific vaccine with SARS-Cov-2 can prevent the development of Covid-19. Pnemococcal vaccine prevents infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae (a.k.a. Pneumococcus)
This is not true.
Pneumonia is a swelling of the lungs that makes it difficult for the body to get enough oxygen. It can be caused by many different bacteria and viruses, including the novel coronavirus.The vaccination which is currently used to protect older people from pneumonia target a type of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. Unfortunately, this vaccine offers no protection against infection by a coronavirus.
You might want to reconsider in light of the following papers:

Pneumonia is caused by a variety of pathogens that includes viruses, bacteria, fungi and others. Currently, there is no published evidence that pnemococcal vaccine can prevent COVID-19 infection.

Dear Petru Emil Muntean many thanks for your interesting technical question. At the first glance the question sounds somewhat odd, but apparently there is some truth in it. In addition to the previously suggested useful links please also have a look at the following relevant articles:

Can getting the flu shot, or vaccines against pneumonia, help ward off pneumonia brought on by COVID-19?

(Updated December 12, 2020()
Now we are in the positive situation that a number of approved COVID-19 vaccines are available. Thus I think there is no need any more to retreat to pneumococcal vaccines.
