Seizure frequency in patients with epilepsy and ID after COVID vaccine

Abstract

Observing the relationship between COVID‐19 vaccination and the neurological side‐effect of worsening seizure frequency, this case series offers insight into the impact of vaccine administration on seizure frequency in three individuals with intellectual disabilities and epilepsy. With questions still remaining with regard to vaccine safety, this article provides an example of the unique challenges faced by this patient population. It is hoped that the publication will stimulate further investigation into related issues and will also help to further inform vaccination strategies.
