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 2,2021,the Israeli...
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...
Is It Safe for You or Your Child to Get the COVID-19 Vaccine? 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 y...
In this review, we will discuss myocarditis as one of the uncommon CV complications of both COVID-19 infection and its mRNA vaccines. Less data is available on myocarditis due to other COVID-19 vaccines available worldwide (adenoviral platforms), thus this paper will focus mainly on the 2 ...
Further details from multiple cases of myocarditis linked to the Pfizer and Moderna mRNA COVID vaccines have been described in recent papers in the medical literature.
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 ...
Myocarditis and an associated risk, pericarditis (inflammation around the heart) have previously been linked to the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines themselves, particularly amongadolescent boysand young men. But the risk is far higher after infection with COVID-19, according to the new paper...
"COVID-19 infection and the related vaccines both pose a risk for myocarditis. However, the relative risk of heart inflammation induced by COVID-19 infection is substantially greater than the risk posed by the vaccines," said Dr. Paddy Ssentongo, a resident physician in the Department of Med...
Although a small number of individuals have experienced myocarditis or pericarditis after their second COVID-19 vaccination, organizations such as HHS and the CDC say the side effect is rare.
