The Covid Vaccine has not been shown to cause problems in persons with seizure disorders. Talk to your Neurologist to more fully discuss this option. The Covid vaccine does prevent serious illness which can be worse in a person with decreased lung capacity and other chronic conditions. It is important to protect yourself from severe infections.

Neither cerebral palsy or epilepsy would prohibit the use of a COVID-19 vaccine. In fact, the viral infection itself could cause a great deal of complicated symptoms for you, and best to protect yourself as fully as possible. Get the jab!
