I had the flu shot a couple of weeks ago without any flareups. If offered the booster shot for COVID, I will take it. I'd rather have my immune system react with a flare-up of PMR or GCA than go to battle with COVID. At least the symptoms of PMR and GCA can be managed with prednisone, and for the most part, are not life-threatening.

My husband and I both had Covid and I'll take Covid over PMR every day of the week. We both had a mild case, no fever, no breathing issues, no long haul issues. No prednisone!! I get it that some people get severe symptoms but ours were nothing in comparison to PMR.
