“Families still come to pediatricians for this kind of guidance.
“We need to be transparent with families, but we also need to lay out, as we do with every other vaccine, what are the risks and what are the benefits,” she said. Maldonado said that when she speaks to families about their concerns with vaccination, she tries to be as open as possible about the risks and benefits. “If you look at the risk of myocarditis, it’s much higher for people who develop Covid-19 rather than the vaccine,” she said.Ī recent Case Western Reserve University study posted online estimated that the risk of developing myocarditis from infection was six times higher than from vaccination in young males. Yvonne Maldonado, a pediatric infectious disease physician at Stanford University, said it is important that people know that the risk of myocarditis from coronavirus infection remains higher than from Covid vaccinations. “It's just a repeated pattern in every study that this is a problem after the second dose primarily for young men.” Heart risks greater from Covid infectionĭr. “This is a problem primarily for teenage boys and young men,” Gellad said. The study did not include the third booster dose of the Pfizer vaccine, which Israel began administering during the summer. Most cases after the second vaccine doseĬonsistent with data from the CDC, most of the cases in Israel occurred three to five days after the doses. According to data from more than 1,500 people who received two doses of the J&J vaccine, the most common side effects to expect include. “This helps us get closer to a precise estimate of the risk, but it doesn’t necessarily mean this is the exact estimate,” he said. Side effects from the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 booster. He said that the study was “very nicely done” and that it would add to the understanding of the true risk of myocarditis after vaccinations, particularly for younger men. Sean O’Leary, the vice chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ committee on infectious diseases, who was not involved with the research. “In all age groups, the benefits still very much outweigh the potential risks,” said Dr.
The CDC relies on self-reported data in VAERS, a vaccine adverse event monitoring system. When new COVID-19 vaccines were first administered two years ago, public health officials found an increase in cases of myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle, particularly among. The differences can be explained by different age cutoffs and because the Israeli researchers examined medical records in a large health care system. In a new study, Yale scientists have identified the immune signature of rare cases of myocarditis among those vaccinated against COVID-19 with mRNA vaccines. The CDC has estimated that the incidence of myocarditis after any Covid vaccination is 0.48 cases per 100,000. The authors noted that the rate in Israel was higher than in the U.S., where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention gather the data, most likely because of how the data were collected.
