Any side effects from present flu shot with PMR?

Your post got me thinking. I had shingles and tetanus vaccines together in January and developed PMR. I assumed it was the Zoster but maybe it was tetanus or the combination of both. I’ve recently done the flue and COVID about a month apart. No problems with COVID but was affected for three weeks after the flu shot.

Yes in hindsight I should have separated so I may have a btr idea if one or the other. I will still get vax weighing the risk of serious illness against a flare up. I will be peeved if have to start over w steriod, not going to lie. Starting w a Medrol pack (2nd one) but I am pretty sure when off it - it won't cut it. Here's to hoping!
