FDA Warns Vaccine Recipients against Heart Inflammation

As per the trusted sources of information, the US Food and Drug Administration included a warning on the patient and provider fact sheets on Friday. The warning is for the COVID-19 vaccines of Pfizer and Moderna to indicate the rare risk of Heart Inflammation among the patients going through it.

For each COVID-19 vaccine, the facts sheets were updated to add a warning about the cases of myocarditis and pericarditis after the patient was injected with the second dose of the vaccine and the symptoms after a few days of receiving the vaccine dose. However, the healthcare officials stated that the benefits of the vaccine, such as protection from the deadly coronavirus, outweigh the negative impacts that might occur.

As per the trusted sources of information, there have been around 1200 cases of pericarditis or myocarditis.

There have been 12.6 cases of Heart Inflammation per million vaccine doses for both the companies of the vaccines combined together.
