Now the EU’s vaccine watchdog says AstraZeneca’s Covid jab can trigger nerve disorder Guillain-Barre syndrome — but it's 'very rare' and affects fewer than one in 10,000European Medicines Agency said the condition was a 'very rare' side-effectBritain has recorded 393 cases out of more than 48million AstraZeneca dosesGuillain-Barre syndrome is sparked when the immune system attacks nerve cellsSymptoms include numbness, muscle pain and pins and needlesExperts have stressed that the risk of severe illness or long-term complications from Covid infection is much higher, and that vaccination is still the best option.
Guillain-Barre sees the immune system go haywire and start to attack nerve cells, triggering symptoms including muscle pain, numbness and pins and needles.
Most people who suffer the condition make a full recovery, but one in five can be left with long-term problems such as difficulty walking and one in 20 die.
The EMA said they considered it 'at least a reasonable possibility' that Guillain-Barre is a side effect of the Oxford-made jab.
The regulator has already listed the condition to the single-shot dose Johnson and Johnson vaccine, which uses the same technology as the AZ jab.
Britain's medical regulator does not officially recognise Guillain-Barre as a side effect of AstraZeneca's vaccine, but says it is keeping a close eye on the suspected link.
There have been 393 UK cases after vaccination with the jab but the watchdog is not certain the condition is occurring more often than it normally would.
It is not clear how many of these led to long-term complications, but three Britons have died.
