Abstract: Vaccines used in the coronavirus pandemic have reported some minor side effects such as pain at the injection site, headache, myalgia and fever. Also major neurological side effects have been experienced by some patients. Cases of complications have been found in the peripheral nervous system, especially Guillen Barre Syndrome, subacute axonal sensorimotor polyneuropathy, brachial plexopathy, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. Also in the Central Nervous System, especially transverse myelitis, which responds well to treatment with corticosteroids. We reviewed the literature to assess the frequency of this type of complication.
