HuffPost
The FDA added a warning on the J&J shot after some people developed a rare disorder. Here's why you shouldn't panic.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration added a new warning for the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus shot, after a handful of people developed Guillain-Barre syndrome following vaccination. GBS — a disorder where the immune system attacks the nerves — is a very rare complication known to occur after many different types of infections and vaccinations, including the annual flu shot and pneumococcal vaccine. The immune system accidentally attacks particles within the vaccine and ends up attacking the nervous system, too, leading to a sudden onset of tingling and numbness.More Related News
