The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the American Academy of Neurology continue to ask neurologists and other health care professionals nationwide to report on any possible new cases of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) following H1N1 flu vaccination.

Your Active Involvement Is Essential


As a neurologist practicing in one of the CDC’s Emerging Infections Program states (CT, MD, MN, NM, TN, CA, and selected regions of CO, GA, NY, and OR), your active involvement in reporting new cases of GBS is extremely important. Practitioners in these states are asked to report ALL new cases of GBS, regardless of vaccination status. Reporting of all GBS cases in the EIP states is a strategy for increased detection. Visit the EIP resource page for information on how to report in your state. Also available at the AAN’s GBS Toolkit webpage are other important tools and resources, such as AAN guidelines, multimedia resources, payer policies, and more.

Watch for regular updates on AAN.com, designed to keep you informed with the latest news of the national monitoring campaign.
