my husband also got a shingles vaccine last year and within two months got an awful case of bell's palsy. his doctor say the vaccine could not have caused the bell's palsy because the formula for this vaccine does not contain live virus culture. i remain skeptical because my husband also has a rare blood disorder. after his diagnosis with bell's i researched more and found that live culture vaccines are never recommended for anyone with a compromised immune system like my husband. still a neurologist specializing in bell's palsy has since told us that the cause may never be known so we can't narrow it down to a possible vaccine. his facial paralysis was almost gone 8 months later until today! symptoms are back we are starting over.
my husband got the shingles vaccine and then within the year got a bad case of bell's palsy. is there a connection?
