Vaccine & Epilepsy

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Centereach, NY

Has anyone gotten the vaccine? Do you feel it has made seizures worse? Have any of y'all heard of shedding? I know it's a touchy subject for a lot of people. Personally I am NOT vaxxed, nor will I be getting it. I am surrounded by people that are.

My neurologist suggested for me to get the vaccine once covid started and got really bad. Nothing changes. And does not effect or cause seizures.

I too am unvaccinated and kinda glad for it I've witnessed. Way too many issues that out weigh benefit. Or supposed benefit.

I will not be vaccinated, I value my life and have no trust whatsoever with something that’s not properly tested. I’ve talked with lots of medical professionals and most of them have no trust with the vaccines.
