Vaccine and PSA spike

I have read only one report of a doctor speculating that a covid vaccination can cause a temporary rise in PSA. Anyone seen any more and what are your thoughts on this possibility ?

In my case, Pfizer vaccine, if there was any change it was towards lowering PSA. Can't say for certain as the difference was within the test's accuracy. Yet, definitely not on the rising side.

I had one PSA draw a few months after 2nd Pfizer and didn’t seem to impact it.

Anecdotal; that's all

Yes, likely anecdotal, but I have spent the last 5 months dealing with the after effect of a rapidly rising PSA discovered in May. I happened to have had the J&J vaccine in March. No cancer found on biopsy done in August. Don't know if it's all related or not. Just reporting that it all has happened within a few month's span. Who knows?
