Need to decide to get a Covid Shot while I have PMR.

Hi, I have taken the flu vaccine, Covid vaccine and the shingles vaccine, all while dealing with PMR. I did not take them at the same time, they were all done separately.
I should say here that PMR or not, I don’t get any reactions to vaccines, other than a super sore arm from the shingles vaccine (which, BTW, is a one time deal given in 2 injections)
I’m 74 years old and have multiple health issues, so taking the vaccines is a no brainer for me. Your choice, of course. If you are in fairly good health , maybe you don’t need it, but I would discuss your concerns with your doctor.
Best wishes on this health journey.

Thanks for your report, it helps. I will decide soon whether or not to get Covid vax. I think I will, but not without realizing that there is some chance of severe reactions. John H
