On 12-Aug-2021, the patient received first dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) 1 dosage form. On 09-Sep-2021, received second dose of mRNA-1273 (Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine) (Intramuscular) dosage was changed to 1 dosage form. On an unknown date, the patient experienced CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY DEMYELINATING POLYRADICULONEUROPATHY (Guillain Barre Syndrome which progressed to CIDP) (seriousness criterion medically significant), DYSSTASIA (Could not stand up or walk alone), GAIT DISTURBANCE (Not able to walk.), DIZZINESS (dizzy), FALL (Fell constantly), ANKLE FRACTURE (broke her ankle), FALL (fell at home and broke it again another place), WHEELCHAIR USER (been in a wheelchair) and FRACTURE (fell at home and broke it again another place).

The event was reported with no onset date; hence, exact latency cannot be assessed. The narrative of the source document states that Guillain Barre syndrome progressed to chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, and she could not stand up or walk alone, she fell constantly and had fractured. The medical history remains as a confounder for the event. The benefit-risk relationship of the mRNA-1273 vaccine is not affected by this report.   This case was linked to MOD-2022-591121.
