I’m very similar to your Mom only 62 years and 1 year out from PMR after getting 2nd Shingrix vaccine. I just got my 2nd COViD vaccine (Pfizer) last week with no PMR flare. Minimal side effects - sore arm and minor lymph node swelling in armpit for 1 day. Wish you all the best of health.

@briand3960- My experience with the first Shingrix shot. I dread getting the second one and I'm due. Were you definitely diagnosed with PMR? Aren't some of the symptoms of the shot similar to PMR?

Thank you SO much. That is very encouraging. She's scheduled for the first vaccine now on Sunday. I really appreciate your response.
