Side effects of seizures following COVID-19 vaccination were not related. Following a recent large-scale survey evaluating vaccine safety among people who received the COVID-19 vaccine, no correlation between vaccination and seizure side effects was confirmed.
A research paper evaluating the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine was published April 29 in the online edition of the international journal JAMA Neurology. This study is the result of a meta-analysis that compared six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and compared data from 63,500 people who received the COVID-19 vaccine and 55,000 people who received the placebo (fake medicine) vaccine .
These studies evaluated the risk of side effects after vaccination with a full range of COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines, including viral vector vaccines, including messenger ribohexane (mRNA) vaccines, and inactivated vaccines. Clinical participants received two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine 28 days apart in five RCTs and received the vaccine once in the remaining studies. The risk of seizures was assessed for 28 days after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine.
Looking at the main findings, there were 9 new seizures (0.014%) among COVID-19 vaccine recipients (63,500 people), which was statistically significantly different from 1 new seizure (0.002%) among placebo vaccine recipients ( 55,000 people). differences were identified. Furthermore, no difference in the occurrence of seizures was found when analyzed by vaccine type, such as mRNA or viral vector vaccine, or by age group of vaccination.
Furthermore, following the analysis of adverse reactions reported up to 162 days after vaccination, no significant difference was observed in the risk of new seizures following COVID-19 vaccination.
Dr Ali Rafati of the University of Iran Medical School, who oversaw the study, said: “Previous studies have produced conflicting results, including reports that there is some correlation between COVID-19 vaccination and the occurrence of seizures.” However, the results of this investigation show that the COVID-19 vaccine and the placebo vaccine “have no significant differences in the risk of seizures between vaccinated populations.”
“There is a limitation of the study in that the six RCTs included in the meta-analysis were conducted at different times, so there may be differences in the composition and efficacy of the vaccine,” he said. 19 vaccines are considered safe and appropriate.”
