Risk Of Seizures In Young Children “Significantly Elevated” Shortly After mRNA COVID-19 Jab

In a preprint paper, researchers wrote the risk of febrile seizure following monovalent COVID-19 mRNA inoculation among children aged 2-5 years was “significantly elevated” shortly after the injection.

” In this self-controlled case series that included participants aged 2-5 years from three commercial insurance databases, the incidence rate ratio of febrile seizures was significantly elevated in the 0-1 days following mRNA-1273 administration,” the researchers wrote.

“The incidence of febrile seizures was elevated immediately following vaccination with the monovalent mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine in children aged 2-5 years,” they continued.

Despite these findings, the researchers still said “the safety profile of monovalent mRNA vaccines remains favorable for use in young children.”

Unsurprisingly, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) researchers conducted the study.

“The incidence of febrile seizures was 2.5 times higher among children zero to one day after a Moderna shot, compared to the same children eight to 63 days after vaccination, the researchers said,” Chief Nerd noted.

“There was also a higher risk for febrile seizures zero to one day after receipt of a Pfizer-BioNTech dose, compared to the same 8–63 day window following vaccination, but that elevated risk was not statistically significant. The study was carried out after the researchers identified seizures/convulsions as a safety signal among children aged 2 to 4 following receipt of Pfizer’s shot and among children aged 2 to 5 after a Moderna jab,” Chief Nerd added.
