Ross Wightman is one of the first people in Canada to be approved for compensation because of injuries sustained after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine.
The B.C. man was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), which left him partially paralyzed, after a first dose of the Oxford AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in April 2021.
He said his symptoms started with severe back pain 10 days after his shot. He went to the emergency room multiple times and was admitted on a Saturday when he reported facial tingling.
“By Tuesday, I had full facial paralysis. I could blink but I couldn’t smile or show my teeth at all, and had paralysis from the waist down as well,” Wightman told the National Post.
