Hopefully it will just be a mild reaction (sore arm) and not worsen the PMR. My PMR developed right after my 2nd Shingrix shot and took 20 months of prednisone taper to get under control. I was able to tolerate the COVID 19 vaccines (I had Pfizer) and wonder if being on prednisone during the vaccine series helped prevent a PMR flare. Good luck and stay strong!
