Rare neurological conditions may occur after Covid vaccination, but the risk is far higher in people who catch Covid, new research suggests. Doctors say the landmark UK study provides further reassurance that being vaccinated offers the best protection for overall health. The scientists, from the Universities of Oxford and Edinburgh, compared the levels of neurological conditions seen within a month of having a first Covid jab, to those seen within a month of a positive coronavirus test. One thing they looked for was a rare condition called Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) known to be associated with certain infectious diseases and linked to some other vaccines.
