@charann2000 - I have decided not to get the new vaccine for Shingles. I figured it would probably set off the GCA again. Glad you are doing okay. Take care of yourself.

At my last appointment at Mayo in Rochester, I asked my rheumatologist doctor if I could have the shingles vaccine. I have both GCA and PMR. He urged me to have the shot. I also take methotrexate and prednisone. Had both shots and other than a slight headache I got along fine. FWIW. Just to help others to make a decision.
