Even though nearly 178 million people in the United States have already had at least oneShot of a Covid vaccine, the deployment of the vaccine in the United States had bumps along the way. One of the three vaccines available, Johnson & Johnson, has been put on temporary hold after health experts have begun to see cases ofBlood clots after vaccination. Once the vaccine has been removed from its break, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had toadd a warning On the potential of blood clots as a result of Johnson & Johnson vaccination. Now, the other two vaccines approved for emergency use in the United States receive similar treatment. If you got the vaccine against Pfizer or Moderna, the FDA has a warning on a potential delayed side effect.

The FDA stated on June 23 that it plans to "move quickly" toAdd new warning About rare cases of cardiac inflammation in adolescents and young adults towards fact sheets for Pfizer and Moderna Covid vaccines, as indicated by Politico. This decision comes after the US centers for disease and prevention (CDC) confirmed that there is a "probable association" between this heart disease and the two mRNA vaccines.

The CDC Advisory Committee on Vaccination Practices (ACIP) held a meeting on 23 JuneDiscuss reported cases the delayed side effect. According to their data, more than 1,200 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis took place after vaccination with one of the two vaccines from June 11th. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the cardiac muscle, while pericarditis is an inflammation of the lining surrounding the heart, by the CDC. .

"On the basis of the available data, a warning declaration in the information sheets of health care providers and recipients of vaccines and caregivers would be justified"DORAN FINK, MD, Deputy Director of the FDA Vaccine Division, said at the ACIP meeting.

According to the CDC, most cases of cardiac inflammation have been held in younger men who receive the vaccine against Pfizer, after their second shot. However, the CDC has published a joint statement with other health agencies and officials after the meeting to indicate that, although the association has been indicated, this deferred side effect remains rare.

"The facts are clear: it is an extremely rare side effect and only an extremely small number of peopleExperience after vaccination"The Joint Declaration is read." Above all, for young people who do, most cases are light and individuals often recover by themselves or with minimal treatment. In addition, we know that myocarditis and pericarditis are much more common if you get COVID-19 and that the risks for the heart of a CIVID-19 infection can be more serious. "

Fink indicated that the FDA was considering adding this warning for a while, but wanted to hear the CDC committee before finalizing the language of the warning. The FDA warning will probably note that there may be a risk of developing one or the other forms of cardiac inflammation over a week after receipt of the second dose of Pfizer or Moderna, But most cases seem to be resolved themselves, said Fink. The long-term effects of this post-vaccine cardiac inflammation are still unclear.

The CDC saysSymptoms of myocarditis or pericarditis After vaccination, we are chest pain, shortness of breath or feelings of having a fast, floating or hammering heart. "Look for medical care if you think you or your child have one of these symptoms within a week after Covid-19 vaccination," said the agency.
