]]>A causal relationship was “considered at least a reasonable possibility”, the EMA said in an update Wednesday after a total of 833 cases of the syndrome had been reported worldwide by July 31, from about 592 million doses of the AstraZeneca “Vaxzevria” shot administered.
“GBS should therefore be added to the product information as a side effect of Vaxzevria,” the Amsterdam-based agency said.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome was a “very rare” side effect, occurring in under one in 10,000 people, it added.
The disorder is a nerve inflammation that may cause temporary paralysis and difficulty breathing.
In the United States, the very rare syndrome affects an estimated 3,000 to 6,000 people each year and most go on to recover.
The EMA recommended that a warning be added to information on the vaccine that tells people to seek medical attention if they develop weakness and paralysis in the extremities that can progress to the chest and face.
The European drug regulator had in July listed Guillain-Barre syndrome as a “very rare” side effect of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which uses the same adenovirus technology as the AstraZeneca jab.
The US Food and Drug Administration also warned in July of an “increased risk” of developing the neurological syndrome with Johnson & Johnson’s dose.
Both regulators stressed that the vaccine’s benefits outweighed the potential risks.

]]>The post Third wave would have mild effects if 80% of the state’s adult population is administered both vaccine doses by the end of September, says D K Shivakumar. appeared first on The Edge Media.
]]>Shivakumar told reporters in Bengaluru, “Experts have predicted that a third wave could hit us by October. Only 7% of the state’s adult population have received both vaccine doses so far. If 80% can receive both doses by the end of September, the third wave even if it hits will only have mild effects. But administering both doses to 80% of our adult population by this time frame is a tall task. Is the state government up for his challenge?”
Pointing out that the state would need 7.5 lakh doses a day to achieve this, Shivakumar claimed that the government was unable to procure sufficient doses from the Centre. “After a one-day jump in vaccination, which was done in the style of an event management, the numbers have come down again,” he said citing the state’s highest single-day vaccination coverage on June 21.
“North Karnataka is being particularly treated like a step-child. There is a shortfall of vaccines even in Bengaluru now,” he further said, adding, “A single dose offers very little protection and it is important to get the second dose as well. The government will be solely responsible for the effects of the third wave if they fail to vaccinate enough people before its onset.”
The state Congress chief, who is also a former minister, said that he would meet Governor Vajubhai Vala in the coming days to submit a memorandum to apprise him of the ground-level situation..
