She responded to prednisone treatment and returned to her baseline after each occurrence. Less than 36&nbsp;\u200bh following the second dose of the vaccine, the patient developed a left Bell\u2019s Palsy. The facial droop progressed in severity over the next 72&nbsp;\u200bh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"__sec3title\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"__p3\" style=\"font-size:24px\">Given the expedited production of the vaccine and the novelty associated with its production, there may be information pertaining to side effects and individual response that remain to be discovered. Since both the Moderna and Pfizer Vaccine trials reported Bell\u2019s Palsy as medically attended adverse events, the association between vaccine administration and onset of symptomatic Bell\u2019s Palsy may warrant further investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">For More Information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7874945\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC7874945\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Authors: Michael Repajic,a\u00a0Xue Lei Lai,a\u00a0Prissilla Xu,b\u00a0and\u00a0Antonio Liua,\u2217 Abstract Objective To report a patient with history of recurrent Bell\u2019s Palsy who developed Bell\u2019s Palsy 36&nbsp;\u200bh after the administration of the second [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[978,43,58,761,766,939,607],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1702","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-adverse-event-reporting","category-bells-palsy","category-brain","category-concerns","category-corticosteroids","category-safety-studies","category-vaccine-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1702","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1702"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1702\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1703"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1702"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1702"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cov19longhaulfoundation.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1702"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
