U.S. health officials are investigating a potential rare side effect from COVID-19 vaccines - an inflammation of the heart muscle called myocarditis.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's advisory has received more than a dozen reports of this condition appearing four days after vaccination.
It seems to happen more often in Teens and Young Adults - and for some reason in more men than women. [Please note that the Covid-19 Virus had no impact on these young people]
Symptoms of myocarditis include fatigue and shortness of breath and it often goes away without any complications, but still the CDC is investigating and alerting doctors to be on the lookout for this.
The CDC says the cases they're tracking involve the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines Approved for Emergency Use Only.
J& J Covid Vaccine was approved for Emergency Use Only, paused then resumed with a Warning to women ages 50 years old or younger. Astra Zeneca is not approved in the States but has the same issues of J & J.
So when you send your young to be vaccinated, please check with your doctor if Benefits outweigh the RISK. Just a thought.
