Is it safe to get the Corona Virus (COVID-19) vaccine with PMR?

Yes, I'm on the same skd as you second dose on 24th. Had just a little sore arm . I have been weaning down on prednisone and am on 4mg. My Rheumatologist said to stay on it. Wish there was info as to take or not take before vaccine. Does Mayo have an answer??

I’m sure the flu vaccine was the trigger for my PMR last October. I’m still trying to taper off the prednisone. I can’t stand being on it. I’m down to to 7.5 mg. I still am experiencing pain in my shoulders and arms but I just want to be off the prednisone. I am not in the age group to get the covid vaccine soon but I don’t want to get it when it’s available. I feel I may have another severe flare up.
