Guillain-Barré Syndrome Triggered by a Vaccine
Reviewed By Anne Carrión Toale, Vaccine Injury Attorney
What is Guillain-Barré Syndrome?
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a disorder that causes a patient’s immune system to go haywire and attack its own peripheral nervous system (World Health Organization). GBS is also referred to as Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP).
Symptoms range from a feeling of pins and needles to complete paralysis and can begin anywhere from a few days to several weeks after vaccination. However, symptoms usually peak around one to two weeks after the vaccine is given.
The flu vaccine is associated with an increased risk of hospitalization from GBS (Juurlink et al., 2006). The chronic version of GBS is known as Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, or CIDP.

Vaccines That Commonly Trigger Guillain Barré Syndrome
The Flu Vaccine and GBS
Researchers who study vaccine reaction rates find that “GBS is more strongly associated with the flu vaccine” compared to any other type of immunization.
The Journal of the American Medical Association cites Guillain Barré as the most frequent neurological condition reported after getting the flu vaccine.
HPV Vaccine and GBS
There is evidence that the HPV (human papillomavirus) vaccination can trigger Guillain Barré Syndrome.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says Guillain Barré has been reported after the HPV vaccination.
Other studies show that 72% of patients who reported GBS symptoms after an HPV vaccine experienced those symptoms within 6 weeks after their vaccination.

How Our Vaccine Attorneys Can Help
Mctlaw currently represents hundreds of patients across the United States who are suffering from Guillain-Barre Syndrome triggered by a vaccine reaction.
Our law firm’s vaccine attorneys obtain compensation for patients with vaccine injuries by filing a lawsuit in the United States Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. The outcome of the lawsuit determines what kind of compensation a victim may receive.
Very few attorneys are able to practice law before the Federal Vaccine Court. That’s why you should hire an attorney with extensive experience in this area of law. These are NOT simple personal injury cases.

What are the Symptoms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)?
Symptoms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome start out as weakness or tingling in the legs. Sometimes, these sensations then spread to the arms and upper body until the victim becomes paralyzed. In some cases, GBS causes such severe muscle weakness that patients must be put on a ventilator to breathe.
According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, the most common GBS symptoms include:
- Pins and needles feeling in your hands and feet
- Weakness in your legs that spreads upwards
- Trouble walking or keeping your balance
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing
- Problems breathing
Types of Guillain-Barré Variations
There are different variants of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS). Some of the most common are:
- Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP)
- Miller Fisher Syndrome (MFS)
- Acute Motor Axonal Neuropathy (AMAN)
- Acute Motor Sensory Axonal Neuropathy (AMSAN)
- Acute Panautonomic Neuropathy
- Bickerstaff’s Brainstem Encephalitis (BBE)
- Paralysis from a vaccine reaction to the flu shot

As an experienced leader in these types of lawsuits, we were confident the firm would have the expertise. However, what surprised us most was the high level of excellent customer service from the firm’s staff!

I can’t recommend this firm enough. They have an outstanding team that truly care for their clients…I have been awarded a fair six figure settlement.

When I say “they went to bat” for me…this Law Firm literally did just that. They persevered to bring the hard-nosed Manufacturer to settle and provide me some recompense for everything I had to endure which led to this suit.
