A Food and Drug Administration (FDA) fact sheet distributed with the Johnson & Johnson (J&J) vaccine will now contain warning language about a small increased risk that vaccine recipients have of developing Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a neurologic disorder that can cause progressive, but usually reversible, paralysis.
So far, the FDA has said there have been 100 cases identified in 12.8 million US J&J recipients, mostly in men over the age of 50.
