Abstract:
Vaccination for children and adolescents is an effective strategy for preventing and controlling infectious diseases. However， clinical reports showed that vaccination may be associated with epilepsy or seizures， potentially increasing public hesitancy about vaccination， and affecting vaccination coverage. At present， no evidence showed that vaccination could damage the nervous system and cause epilepsy or seizures. In this review， we explore the association of multiple vaccinations in children and adolescents with epilepsy or seizures， and further understand the safety of vaccination， thereby improving vaccine coverage in China.
