  • Anthony Shingler has been diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome after the jab
  • He spent 420 days in hospital having reacted badly to the AstraZeneca jab
  • Mr Shingler said he wished he had ignored the government’s Covid jab advice

A father-of-two who claims to have suffered a rare side effect of a coronavirus vaccine has finally been discharged from hospital – after 420 days. 

Former security worker Anthony Shingler was left ‘paralysed’ after taking his first AstraZeneca jab.

He was rushed to the Royal Stoke University Hospital with severe aches, as well as pins and needles in March last year just days after being vaccinated. After spending months on a ventilator at the Royal Stoke, Anthony was transferred to Haywood Hospital in November to continue his long and painful recovery.

Now the 58-year-old has returned home to Northwood to be with his wife Nicola, and their two daughters.
