GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) — The CDC’s vaccine advisory committee says that the Johnson and Johnson COVID-19 vaccine could be linked to an extremely rare neurological condition.
The agency says the vaccine could lead to an increased risk of a rare neurological condition called Guillain-Barré syndrome, which can cause the body to attack its own nervous system.
According to the CDC, about 100 preliminary reports of Guillain-Barré have been detected in vaccine recipients out of 12.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine administered in the United States.
Prevea Health President and CEO Dr. Ashok Rai says he feels the transparency is what’s necessary.
