Impact of covid19 vaccine on GBS
My father had contracted Guillain-Barre Syndrome 4 years back. I would like to know if there are any side effects if he goes for covid-19 vaccine shot now. He has partially recovered for GBS.
Would appreciate if you can guide.

Some cases of postvaccination GBS have been reported but whether it was due to vaccine is not clearly known. So a history of GBS has not been mentioned as a contraindication to vaccination.
