<abstract language="eng">Since the COVID-19 pandemic has started in December 2019, millions of people have been infected all over the world and few vaccines have been invented recently. Extremely rare, Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) was reported as a neurological complication after H1N1 flu vaccination.
