What Types of Vaccines are Linked to Guillain-Barré Syndrome?
The flu shot and the HPV vaccine are the shots most commonly connected to GBS. According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, GBS is the most common neurological disease people get after the influenza shot.
In 88% of our cases, the flu shot is the vaccine reported prior to getting GBS. Studies show that in 70% of cases of GBS after the HPV vaccine symptoms show up within six weeks. GBS has also been linked to MMR, Tetanus, and other vaccines.
