Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?

Alex, the relationship between autoimmune diseases and vaccination is a topic that researchers have studied in the past and likely continue to study closely with the global vaccination efforts to control COVID.
Here are a couple of past studies:
- Vaccination and autoimmune disease: what is the evidence? (2003) https://www.thelancet.com/pb-assets/Lancet/extras/02art9340web.pdf
- Vaccination and Induction of Autoimmune Diseases (2015) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26728772/
- Vaccinations and Autoimmune Diseases (2021) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8402446/
To find clinical trials that are currently recruiting participants, you can search the national database or Mayo Clinic's clinical trials database:
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/home

Sometimes your physician may know about clinical trials that are not yet included in the databases. I applaud you for being willing to contribute to research.

Hi…my husband and I are participating in an NIEH study to look at Covid antibodies over one year. We just started but have several friends that have participating for a while. They do a blood test 5 times over the year. Each person get results on 1)if you’ve had Covid and that antibody level and 2) your vaccine antibody level. I’m hoping my antibody level is good so that I don’t need any more boosters! The lab is in the RTP near Durham, NC.
