such as myocarditis,caused by COVID-19 vaccines.On May 27,2021,the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)issued a related statement that there may be a link between BNT162b2 vaccine and mRNA-1273 vaccine(Moderna)for the prevention of COVID-19 vaccination and myocarditis[1].On June...
There are a couple of considerations here. First, even if there is a correlation between mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines and myocarditis in the young, it remains arareevent and serious disability from it is even rarer. Second, as the article cited by Dr. Hotez found, there is a much higher...
While myocarditis was not seen in the initial safety trials of these vaccines, many large-scale post-vaccination datasets to date have reported myocarditis as one of the most important adverse effects. Myocarditis is defined as inflammation of the myocardium, characterized by infiltration by immune ce...
Yes. The CDC recommends that people 12 and older get any of the available COVID-19 vaccines. The benefits of the vaccine against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 far outweighs the risks. Thevaccinecan protect you from severe complications, such as long-term health problems, hospi...
alone. However, if considering the other ill effects of infection with SARS-CoV-2 — both cardiac and not — there was still a strong benefit in immunizing younger people with COVID-19 vaccines other than Moderna,which research suggests has a higher risk for myocarditis than Pfizer’s ...
Briefly, 88.1% of participants had the BNT162b2 (Comirnaty, BioNtech, Mainz, Germany) vaccine and the remainder had the CoronaVac vaccine (Sinovac Biotech Ltd., Beijing, China). No participant received different vaccines for the 1st and 2nd doses. 60 out of 67 participants (89.6%) had ...
To date, the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) reported a total 1,226 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis after administration of nearly 300 million doses of the mRNAPfizer-BioNtechandModernavaccines. However, it is still deemed an “exceedingly rare” side effect ...
Although vaccines have been shown to reduce severe COVID-19 symptoms, heart complications have been associated with mRNA COVID-19 vaccination—particularly myocarditis in teenage boys. However, the relative risk of myocarditis due to vaccines and infections had not been well characterized in large ...
