TLDR
A retrospective study encompassing the years 1980-1988 was conducted to determine if the US Army's mass influenza vaccination program has been associated with an increased incidence of Guillain-Barré syndrome in active duty soldiers during the study years.Abstract:
An increased incidence of Guillain-Barre syndrome (polyradiculoneuritis) occurred in individuals who received the A/New Jersey (swine) influenza vaccine in 1976-1977. A retrospective study encompassing the years 1980-1988 was conducted to determine if the US Army's mass influenza vaccination program has been associated with an increased incidence of Guillain-Barre syndrome in active duty soldiers during the study years. No temporally related increase in Guillain-Barre syndrome was found during the study years.read more

Guillain-Barré syndrome
TL;DR: Investigators of large, worldwide, collaborative studies of the spectrum of Guillain-Barré syndrome are accruing data for clinical and biological databases to inform the development of outcome predictors and disease biomarkers, which is transforming the clinical and scientific landscape of acute autoimmune neuropathies.

Guillain-Barré syndrome.
TL;DR: The data for GBS suggests that the immunologic mechanism can involve molecular mimicry, at least in some GBS variants, and it is likely that multiple mechanisms render the axon vulnerable.

Are we ready for pandemic influenza
TL;DR: Here, progress to date in preparedness for an influenza pandemic is considered and what remains to be done is reviewed, with prioritizing the remaining needs and exploring the reasons for the current lack of preparedness.

TL;DR: There was no increase in the risk of vaccine-associated Guillain-Barré syndrome from 1992-1993 to 1993-1994 and for the two seasons combined, the adjusted relative risk of 1.7 suggests slightly more than one additional case of Guillian-B Barré syndrome per million persons vaccinated against influenza.
