The CDC USA is investigating some cases of myocarditis in vaccinated young people
Some teens and young adults who received COVID-19 vaccines have developed heart inflammation, said an advisory group from the CDC, the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, recommending further studies into the rare condition.
The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices in a May 17 statement said it had examined reports that some young recipients of the vaccine, predominantly adolescents and young adults, and predominantly males, have developed myocarditis, an inflammation of the cardiac muscle.
The condition often goes away without complications and can be caused by a variety of the virus, the CDC group said.
CDC monitoring systems did not find more cases than would be expected in the population, but members of the vaccination committee felt that healthcare professionals should be made aware of "potential adverse event" reports, the committee said in the report. declaration.
He did not say how many people had been affected and recommended further investigation.
Dr Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, said vaccines are known to cause myocarditis and it would be important to monitor to see if it is causally related to the vaccine. It is important to look at the risk-benefit ratio, he added. "Vaccines will unequivocally be much more beneficial by overcoming this very low risk, if definitively established."
The CDC said cases typically occurred within four days of receiving the mRNA vaccines. He did not specify which vaccines. The United States has granted emergency clearance to two mRNA vaccines, from Moderna Inc (MRNA.O) and Pfizer / BioNTech (PFE.N), (22UAy.DE).
The Israeli health ministry said in April that it was examining a small number of cases of myocarditis in people who had received Pfizer's vaccine, although it had not yet drawn any conclusions. Most cases in Israel have been reported among people up to 30 years old.
All this indicates the need to carefully monitor the results and side effects of vaccines, to always give correct information and avoid negative side effects.
