GBS has been reported very rarely (i.e. less than 1 in 10.000 vaccinees) following vaccination with Vaxzevria/Covishield. A causal relationship has neither confirmed, nor ruled out [2].
The benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks of GBS [2]; [3].
Very rare cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) were reported 3-21 days following vaccination with Vaxzevria/Covishield, mainly after the first dose. The benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks, especially in older age groups [2]; [4].
Vaxzevria is contraindicated in persons who have experienced TTS with previous doses of the vaccine [2].
Very rare cases of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) were reported in the first days after vaccination with Vaxzevria, with fatal outcomes in some people with prior experience of CLS. EMA recommends that persons with a known history of CLS should not be vaccinated with Vaxzevria [5].
Events of cerebrovascular venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) without thrombocytopenia have been observed very rarely following vaccination with Vaxzevria, mostly within the first four weeks following vaccination. This information should be considered for individuals at increased risk for CVST [3].
Very rare cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) were reported globally (0.081 cases per 100.000 vaccinees as of December 2021) around 3-30 days following vaccination with CanSino [1].

GBS has been reported very rarely following vaccination with Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. As of April 2022, 535 cases were reported globally (1.5 cases per million vaccinees) [6]
The benefits of the vaccine outweigh the risks of GBS [6].
Very rare cases of thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) were reported following the first dose of Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. As of April 2022, 109 cases were reported globally (2 cases per million vaccinees) [6]. The benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks, especially in older age groups [4].
Janssen COVID-19 vaccine is contraindicated in persons who have experienced TTS with previous doses of the vaccine [4]; [6].
Very rare cases of capillary leak syndrome (CLS) were reported in the first days after vaccination with Janssen COVID-19 vaccine, with fatal outcomes in some people with prior experience of CLS. EMA recommends that persons with a known history of CLS should not be vaccinated with Janssen COVID-19 vaccine [7].
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) has been observed rarely following vaccination with Janssen COVID-19 vaccine. This should be considered for individuals at increased risk for VTE [8].

Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
Myocarditis is a very rare adverse event (up to 1 in 10.000 vaccinated people) reported after receipt a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Available data suggest that the course of myocarditis/pericarditis following vaccination is generally mild and responds to treatment. The observed risk is highest in young males (aged 18-24 years) and within a few days after the second dose of Moderna COVID-19 vaccine [10]; [11].
The benefits of Spikevax continue to outweigh its risks in all age groups [10].

In persons with history of this extremely rare condition, there is a potential occurrence of CLS flare-up following vaccination with Moderna COVID-19 vaccine [9].
