Delayed reaction to COVID/flu jab

Many thanks again for such an informative resource! My partner had his COVID jab AND the flu jab (I know!) on Saturday 13th November with no immediate side effects. 9 days later, on Monday, he came down with flu/COVID type symptoms. Since then he’s been going hot & cold, not sleeping, aching, fatigued and all the symptoms you’d expect from COVID, apart from the LFT being negative for the last 3 days.

I have shown him the ‘Sick day rules’ and today he’s doubled his steroids (he’s currently on 9mg Pred). He’s felt an immediate effect (within a hour) and I’m trying to remember if someone else posted that they had a delayed reaction from the jab?

When he had his 1st jab he had a ‘yellow card’ reaction and that’s when he was finally diagnosed with PMR.
