No concomitant medication was given. No treatment medication was given.  Company comment: This case concerns a 51-year-old, female subject, who experienced the expected event OF FACIAL PARALYSIS and the unexpected event of HEMIPARESIS. The event hemiparesis occurred twelve days after the second dose of mRNA-1273 and the event facial paralysis occurred thirteen days after the second dose of mRNA-1273. The rechallenge was unknown as there's no information available about the first dose.The benefit-risk relationship of mRNA-1273 IS not affected by this report. Events were automatically upgraded as a Serious events as per RA list and kept as serious as per medical judgement, despite it was reported as non-serious.; Sender's Comments: This case concerns a 51-year-old, female subject, who experienced the expected event OF FACIAL PARALYSIS and the unexpected event of HEMIPARESIS.
