Guillain-Barre is usually a progressive neurologic syndrome where you lose motor control. Starts in legs and ascends and may include breathing difficulties. It can advance very rapidly so would contact ER immediately if you suspect Guillain Barre or are having any muscle weakness numbness tingling https://www.healthline.com/health/guillain-barre-syndrome#causes-and-risk-factors

Some reports of Guillain-Barre are associated with the various vaccines, but the relationship in unclear. Association with the native infection is rather rare, and may or may not be related. The typical GBS presentation is an ascending weakness which can present as a medical emergency. There is no accurate way to predict who may acquire this.
