I have had PMR for many years and am in fact now labelled inflammatory arthritis. The signs and symptoms are the same as is the treatment on and off Pred. I had shingles badly about three years ago and this year will qualify for the shingles vaccine. Has anybody had the vaccine while on Pred and were there any untoward results? Does ambassador pro think it ok to have vaccine ?

Many thanks.

Which one? Zostavax or Shingrix?
