Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?

I took the first two doses of Moderna and have had physical issues ever since including the diagnosis of PMR. My PMR was crippling until going on prednisone at 30 mg’s daily. Prior to the shots, I was running 30 miles a week and golfing, skiing etc.
My doc believes something viral caused my PMR.

Welcome @pochster, Sorry to hear you developed PMR after receive the Moderna vaccine. Does the prednisone get rid of the pain? Are you still at 30 mg?

Thanks for sharing. So your doctor is thinking something viral is the cause of your PMR and the occurrence of PMR is unrelated to your Moderna vaccine shots? Timing seems suspicious as it does in my case.
