PMR triggers--COVID vs. Shingrix shingles vaccinations

Posted by janiceem @janiceem, 21 hours ago

For those who contracted PMR after an mRNA COVID vaccination (Moderna or Pfyzer), have you had a reoccurence after having a Shingrix vaccination? I had the first shingles vaccine in 2019, but it's been recommended that I now get the more recent one--Shingrix. I realize that it is a recombinant vaccine, meaning it uses a specific protein from the varicella-zoster virus to trigger an immune response, so maybe I'll be safe getting it. I've been in remission for 2.5 years.
