What is COVID-19 vaccine-related Guillain-Barre syndrome about?

COVID-19 vaccine-related Guillain-Barre syndrome As of 12 October 2022, the Netherlands side effects center Lareb had received 72 reports of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) after COVID-19 vaccination. Most cases were reported within 6 weeks after vaccination with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine (Comirnaty; n=30; 42%), Moderna vaccine (Spikevax; 8; 11%), AstraZeneca vaccine (Vaxzevria; 18; 25%) or Janssen vaccine (Jcovden; 16; 22.%). "The fact that the condition occurred after vaccination does not always mean that the vaccine was the cause," noted Lareb. GBS is a known adverse event of the AstraZeneca and Janssen COVID-19 vaccines, but the number of reports for these two vaccines was higher than expected, said Lareb. "Based on the reports, no conclusion can be drawn about a possible relationship between GBS and the Pfizer/ BioNTech and Moderna vaccine," commented Lareb.
