It depends on the issue. Any vaccine or injection of medicine can cause local neurological issues if administered incorrectly. If the issue is more global (involves the whole body), not a messenger RNA
vaccine. The mechanism of conferring immunity is not likely to cause any lasting side effects.
The only serious neurological side effects of the COVID 19 vaccinations occur with the J and J vaccination. One of these Gillian- Barre Syndrome. This is a diffuse weakness. The other is clotting n blood vessels which can lead to strokes and heart attacks. The Phizer and Moderna vaccines do not seem to have any serious neurological side effects.
