EU Lists Rare Nerve Disorder as Side Effect of J&J COVID-19 Vaccine

(Reuters) – Europe’s medicines regulator said on Thursday it had added a nerve-degenerating disorder, Guillain-Barré syndrome, as a possible rare side effect from Johnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine after it reviewed 108 cases reported worldwide.
