Safe to get vaccines after diagnosis?

I’ve continued to get vaccines and no flares or bad side effects. I’m guessing the suppressed immune system from prednisone makes them a little less effective but still worth it. Got pneumonia, covid and flu vaccines this fall at dr recommendation. Just my opinion, but I feel getting one of those illnesses with pmr has to be more risky than getting the vaccine. Science improves lives (trying to be helpful not controversial). Best of luck!
