@cyndiefromnc I've taken the stronger dose flu vaccine two years in a row and haven't had any issues. My body didn't react at all, which I think would be true for almost everyone on this forum, since they are taking immune suppressing drugs. Even with the stronger dose of vaccine, the vaccine won't be as effective for us because of the drugs we take.

@jeff97 I am 53yo female. Got PMR two weeks after the flu vaccine. Have always taken the vaccine. Physicians believe was caused by the vaccine. There are published studies linking the two. Why? Good question. Possible underlying infection at time of vaccine. However I felt fine. Is anyone taking Kevzara?
