"Abstract

Introduction: The influence of COVID19 vaccination on the risk of different neurological diseases has been subject of intense investigation. No large scale results have been published so far in the population of around 10 million people of Lombardia in Italy...

Results: The 28-day post-vaccination period was associated with a significant increase in the occurrence of ischemic stroke, cerebral haemorrhage, TIAs [transient ischemic attacks] and myelitis (IRR 1.44, 1.50, 1.67 and 2.65 respectively)."
