Myocarditis and Pericarditis Following mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination Updated June 23, 2021
What You Need to Know
* More than 177 million people have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine in the United States, and CDC continues to monitor the safety of COVID-19 vaccines for any health problems that happen after vaccination.
* Since April 2021, there have been more than a thousand reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of cases of inflammation of the heart—called myocarditis and pericarditis—happening after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (i. e., Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna) in the United States.
* These reports are rare, given the hundreds of millions of vaccine doses administered, and have been reported after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, particularly in adolescents and young adults. View the latest information.
* CDC and its partners are actively monitoring these reports, by reviewing data and medical records, to learn more about what happened and to understand any relationship to COVID-19 vaccination.
* Most patients who received care responded well to treatment and rest and quickly felt better.
* Confirmed cases have occurred: - Mostly in male adolescents and young adults age 16 years or older - More often after getting the second dose than after the first dose of one of these two mRNA COVID-19 vaccines - Typically within several days after COVID-19 vaccination
* Patients can usually return to their normal daily activities after their symptoms improve. They should speak with their doctor about return to exercise or sports.
* CDC continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for everyone 12 years of age and older, given the risk of COVID-19 illness and related, possibly severe complications.
* Getting vaccinated is the best way to help protect yourself and your family from COVID-19. * More information will be shared as it becomes available.
Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis is inflammation of the outer lining of the heart. In both cases, the body’s immune system causes inflammation in response to an infection or some other trigger. Learn more about myocarditis and pericarditis.
Should I Still Get Myself or My Child Vaccinated?
Yes. CDC continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for everyone 12 years of age and older, given the risk of COVID-19 illness and related, possibly severe complications, such as long-term health problems, hospitalization, and even death. If you or your child has already gotten the first dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, it’s important to get the second dose unless a vaccination provider or your doctor tells you not to get it.
The known and potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known and potential risks, including the possible risk of myocarditis or pericarditis. Also, most patients with myocarditis and pericarditis who received care responded well to treatment and rest and quickly felt better.
If you have concerns about COVID-19 vaccination, talk with your or your child’s doctor, nurse, or clinic.
What Myocarditis/Pericarditis Symptoms Should I Be on the Lookout for after mRNA COVID-19 Vaccination?
Be on the lookout for any of the following symptoms:
* Chest pain * Shortness of breath * Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart
Seek medical care if you think you or your child have any of these symptoms within a week after COVID-19 vaccination.
If you have any health problems after vaccination, report them to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS).
There is the vaers system. It has been having more reports of major side effects and death from the covid gene therapy Then the amount from all other vaccines over the last 30 years. Previously even if they had 1 or 2 cases like this they would stop Giving it out but for some reason everyone should be forced to take this force to take this gene therapy. Even the person who invented it Has been doing interviews and beginning censored saying how bad this is to do and if you're not says to do and if you're not old or weak you have no reason to take it

There's VAERS, but most people don't even KNOW about that, and given the propaganda around the whole mess, it wouldn't surprise me if many of those who did know about it didn't trust it, or refused to use it.
The only side effect I had, was, I was really sore in that arm, for a few days. Other than that, none. Different vaccines, affect different people, differently. I got pfizer. My parents did too, and they didn't really have anything. I did start to feel a little nausea, in the first few minutes but it wore off pretty quickly
Most people don't get side effects. Most of the ones who do only get very mild side effects. I don't know anyone who has had any bad ones and I had none at all. People who do get bad ones are more likely to complain about it, that's why you see more negatives online than positives.
