## Can a Flu Shot Cause Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)?
While GBS can occur following various viral infections, it has also been associated with certain vaccines, including the flu shot. It is important to note that the occurrence of GBS after a flu shot is rare, with a frequency of approximately one to two cases per million doses administered.
GBS developing after a flu shot has been investigated extensively, and many studies have established a causal relationship between GBS and the flu shot. Certain studies have reported an increased risk of developing GBS in the weeks following a flu shot. Today, the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) recognizes a causal connection between the flu shot and GBS if the symptoms of GBS started between 3 and 42 days after a flu shot.
