The condition, called myocarditis, is usually mild, but a handful of patients remain hospitalized.

Myocarditis is condition that involves inflammation of the heart muscle. Symptoms can include fever and fatigue, as well as shortness of breath and a very specific type of chest pain. Patients tend to say their chest hurts more when they lean forward. The pain tends to abate when they lean back.

When needed, treatment may involve anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen, and in some cases, an intravenous medication called IVIG.Generally, children who have myocarditis will follow up with a cardiologist for about six months to make sure there are no other significant problems. Most cases are generally mild and go away on their own.

Vaccine safety experts are always on the lookout for a range of possible side effects following any new vaccine. Despite the increased number of reported myocarditis cases among young people, Shimabukuro said, no major red flags have been identified. Still, the higher-than-normal incidence is worthy of further scrutiny. The CDC will hold a meeting of its Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on June 18 to further look at the evidence and assess the risk of myocarditis following vaccination.

Until definitive links are made, health officials overwhelmingly recommend Covid-19 vaccinations for everyone ages 12 and older.

FactSparrow Must health agencies discontinue COVID-19 vaccinations for people under 30 because of heart risks?

Guys unfortunately I got diagnosed with Myocarditis (heart inflammation) after the 2nd shot of Moderna. Symptomes were chest pains and shortness of breath, so if you're a male under 30, please consider twice before going having the 2nd shot.

Let’s talk about it occurring in 50 something year old women as well.

They likely had covid at one point. So many younger people ignore the fact that covid causes organ and lung damage. They only focus on the low death rates in their age range.

226 out of 12,000,000.

FDA experts at VRBPAC stated 0.9 hospitalization in kids, almost all with full recovery, including from MIS-C: 50% ppl dx'd w/cardiac inflammation make full recoveries. What is the benefit in this age group?

Wait till you hear about the percentage & duration of people under 30 that get heart inflammation (amongst other long term side effects & death) from CVD19.

If higher that usual, what other evidence is needed before stoping ? Actual deaths?

silviaturin Mi faccia capire silviaturin questo vaccino Pfizer , per gli adolescenti è 'molto sicuro' 'poco sicuro' 'pericoloso' o cosa?

You should also add this target group (younger males) are also a small percentage of those fully vaccinated. I bet the majority of these 226 cases have had covid previously, but were never tested.
