This case is noteworthy due the association between the COVID-19 vaccination and GBS. This patient developed symptoms of GBS approximately a week after his COVID-19 vaccination. This was determined by his neurologist after a further history. Therefore, GBS should be considered as a possible side effect to the COVID-19 vaccination.
