Super rare, but I have seen one woman who became paraplegic from something as supposedly innocuous as a hepatitis vaccine.
Edit: it was the AstraZenica vaccine trial.

AZN and the UK didn't disclose much about the case. The FDA has whatever data there is and has, I think, greenlighted resumption of the US trial. But there as well, no public disclosure. I am speculating that they know she developed TM and was in the drug arm and that's about all they know, can't prove or disprove that it was vaccine-caused. I've read some comments that in a trial this size, one TM case isn't going to stop it but a second would be very serious.
