I had a similar reaction after the second Shingrex vaccine I received on February 29, 2020. After some fever and overall bodyaches it settled into my hips and shoulders. Getting worked up for PMR in on prednisone 10 mg which is relieving some of my symptoms. I am a pharmacist and pro vaccinations, but if it triggered my PMR I would’ve really thought about it before getting it. Very thankful to have found this forum. I wish you the very best in maintaining your optimal health.

Hello @briand3960, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Thank you for sharing your experience with the second Shingrix shot. It really helps to learn from experiences of other members. I will probably get my initial Shingrix shot after this COVID-19 settles and things get somewhat back to normal. My PMR is still in remission but after 2 occurrences of it I would not like to have it come back.
