My sister in law developed guillian barre syndrome after the flu shot years ago. i have my daughter scheduled for the flu shot. i'm going ask the dr before shot is given but is my daughter at high risk of same thing ? should she not get the flu shot?

By the numbers: The numbers don't show a problem. The CDC reports that our rate for GB Syndrome in the US is about 80 to 160 cases each week (maybe from infections), regardless of vaccination status. The CDC says the possible increased risk of GBS following flu vaccination is small, on the order of one to two additional GBS cases per MILLION doses of flu vaccine given. That means no need to worry about it.
