By Michael Levenson. The occurrence of BP did not differ significantly between recipients of the Pfizer/BioNTech vs Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines. Significantly more neurological adverse events were reported following Janssen (Ad26.COV2.S) vaccination compared to either Pfizer-BioNtech (BNT162b2) or Moderna (mRNA-1273; 0.15% versus 0.03% versus 0.03% of doses, respectively,P<0.0001). 2021 Oct;25(5):302-303. doi: 10.1016/j.jaapos.2021.05.003. The study was exempt from ethical approval by the local institutional ethics committee because we used previously published data. Neurological side effects of SARS Then blisters appear on your body or face, often in a strip on one side of your body. Frequency of neurologic manifestations in COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis. With SARS-CoV-2 infection, however, the reported BP incidence is significantly higher at 32.3 to 82 per 100000 patients.55,57 These results overall suggest that the BP incidence after SARS-CoV-2 vaccines is comparable with the overall incidence in the general population, whereas it clearly exceeds that with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

JO. Acta Neurol Scand. Bell palsy (BP), also known as idiopathic facial nerve palsy, is the most prevalent cause of acute spontaneous peripheral facial paralysis, with a reported annual incidence rate of 15 to 30 cases per 100000 population.1,2 Although the exact cause of BP is unclear, viral infections (such as herpes simplex virus), ischemia, and inflammation are some of the suggested underlying mechanisms.3 Notably, BP is also reported following SARS-CoV-2 infection.4 COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, is a contagious respiratory syndrome with a wide range of manifestations, from asymptomatic and mild infection to hospitalization and death,5 as well as a wide variety of neurologic manifestations.6.
