I believe, although no doctor can conform positively, that I contracted PMR a week after my 4th Covid vaccine. I slowly tapered from prednisone over the course of a year. Been about a year out from taking Predisone. Some people have commented that because it lasted only a year, it might have been vaccine induced. I guess we will never know but I am now leery of taking anymore vaccines. I know it is in remission and I want it to stay that way.

I had a similar experience, but my PMR developed after my second Pfyzer vaccination. It took about a year to taper off Prednisone and I have been in remission now since Dec. 2022, although I occasionally feel some mild discomfort in my upper arms while in bed (this could be neck related). I will probably never get another vaccine, especially an mRNA one.
