The FDA said it is tracking Bell’s palsy cases after four people taking the Pfizer vaccine developed the condition, but there’s currently no reason to think the vaccine caused the condition.
Along with the three people who developed Bell’s palsy after taking the Moderna vaccine, a fourth, who took the placebo also experienced the condition. More than 30,000 people participated.
The four patients in the Pfizer trials get Bell’s palsy at different times after the injection – the first 3 days later, the second 9 days later, the third 37 days later and the fourth 48 days later. At least one had already recovered as of last week.
