If they say it probably will they are definitely incorrect. If they say it possibly will they might be correct. Or not. No proof either way.
No, even the correlation numbers only point to one case per million doses. So if they claim the risk is higher than that, they are incorrect. The numbers aren't there to support that.
Once researchers make progress in outlining the mechanism of GBS, we'll understand more. But that has no bearing on the fact that only one person per million is contracting the disease after a flu vaccine. When you weigh that risk against the multitude of risks of having the actual flu, getting the vaccine is the clear choice for those who aren't allergic to eggs.
And in the coming years, vaccine production will most likely move away from the egg model and more towards a cell culture model. That will remove the obstacle for those who are allergic to eggs.
