Response: Safety and adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination among people with epilepsy: Correspondence
Thank you for your letter and comments on the paper. The paper described by Ong et al. focuses on the safety and adverse events among the PWE following COVID-19 immunization. Some of the recruited subjects in the paper have other comorbidities, which do not deter them from being vaccinated. Some adverse events are inevitable, which are not proven to be more frequent or more severe compared with the general population. All in all, the benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh its potential risks.
We confirm that we have read the Journal's position on issues involved in ethical publication and affirm that this report is consistent with those guidelines. Neither of the authors has any conflict of interest to disclose for this letter.
Thank you.
Best regards,
