Can PMR (Polymyalgia Rheumatica) be induced by vaccine?

Not a coincidence at all. PMR is triggered by a virus. In my case it occurred with 1-2 weeks following a case of Covid-19.
A recent study states PMR is a common side effect of the Covid-19 vaccine. I don't see why a flu shot couldn't also be a trigger.
