brain disorder (epilepsy)
Vaccines against COVID-19 are currently approved and available.
There is currently no evidence to suggest that having electrical brain disorder (epilepsy) is specifically linked to an increased risk of side effects from the Covid-19 vaccine, including the occurrence of convulsions.
For people with an electrical disorder of the brain (epilepsy), the risk of developing Covid-19 infection and the potential complications far outweighs the risk of side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Fever can occur after the COVID-19 vaccination, as is the case with other vaccines, and since fever reduces the required level of electrical disturbance in the brain for a seizure to occur in some people, it is recommended to use antipyretic drugs (such as paracetamol / acetaminophen) regularly for 48 hours after vaccination (or For the duration of the fever).
Before receiving the Covid-19 vaccine, be sure to tell the vaccination provider that you have an electrical disorder (epilepsy), in addition to any other important medical information, such as:
Allergy, especially allergy to any of the components of the vaccine
Any symptoms of allergy from previous vaccines (such as the flu vaccine)
Fever or current or recent infection
All the medications you take, especially drugs that suppress the immune system (such as immunomodulators or immunosuppressive drugs) or anticoagulants.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or even planning to become pregnant
As with any vaccine, you should not receive the Covid-19 vaccine if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. You should not receive a second dose if you develop allergic symptoms after the first dose.
If you have already received the Covid-19 vaccine, it is important to continue wearing the mask and social distancing
Current vaccines reduce your risk of developing Covid-19 disease by up to 90%, depending on the vaccine, but people who have been vaccinated may still be able to transmit Covid-19 to others without knowing they are carrying the virus.
