Autoimmune conditions can certainly be brought on by vaccinations of various kinds, and I have also refused vaccinations since getting PMR. The adjuvant ingredient in vaccines that is there to increase the immune response to the vaccine is usually the culprit.

I have no intention of taking a vaccine which includes an adjuvant to stimulate an immune response, while fighting to reduce the over-reactive immune response that causes PMR. How can anyone who knows what causes PMR even suggest it? It makes no sense at all.
