Myocarditis or heart inflammation and COVID-19 vaccines for kids

Dr. Ibukun Kalu, MD, Medical Director for Pediatric Infection Prevention & Hospital Epidemiology for Duke Health, explains the risk of myocarditis or heart inflammation for children. There have been reports of cases of myocarditis and pericarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Both Pfizer and Moderna COVID vaccines are mRNA vaccines. Most of these reported cases have happened in young men under 30 years old and after the second dose of the COVID vaccine. An important thing to remember is that there are more cases of myocarditis in people who naturally get sick with COVID-19 than those who had it after vaccination. Your child's risk of myocarditis is higher with getting sick from COVID-19 naturally. While these heart issues might sound very scary, myocarditis and pericarditis can be mild and treatable. In fact, of those who developed the heart conditions after getting vaccinated, at least 79% (or 4 in 5) have made a full recovery. Myocarditis and pericarditis appear to be rare side effects after mRNA COVID vaccines. According to CDC, more than 214 million people in the U.S. have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, including millions of preteens & teens between 12 and 17 years old. The CDC and its group of medical experts concluded that the benefits of COVID vaccination continue to outweigh the risks. Therefore, the COVID-19 vaccine continues to be recommended for anyone five years of age and older. Symptoms of both these heart conditions may include: Chest pain Difficulty breathing Feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart, or heart feels like it is beating in an unusual pattern If your child starts to feel any of the symptoms listed above, don't hesitate to contact your healthcare provider right away. Make sure to let them know if your child had the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine within the last week.
