Israeli study finds that Pfizer's new crown vaccine may be associated with myocarditis

On June 2, the Israeli Ministry of Health stated that the few cases of heart inflammation observed by some young men in the country after the second dose of Pfizer/BioNTech's new crown vaccine could be related to the Pfizer vaccine.

The few cases of heart inflammation observed by some young men in the country after the second dose of Pfizer/BioNTech's new crown vaccine can be related to Pfizer vaccine.

In Israel, between December 2020 and May 2021, 275 cases of myocarditis were reported, of which more than 5 million people were vaccinated.

Some health experts recommend giving young people only one injection to avoid the side effects of the second dose.

In response, Pfizer said in a statement that Pfizer said it did not observe a higher incidence of myocarditis than the general population would normally expect.

Considering that myocarditis is usually caused by a viral infection , there is currently no indication that the above cases are causally related to vaccination, and the benefits of vaccination still outweigh the risks.

The Vaccine Safety Team of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is also investigating "relatively few" reports of the condition of young Americans who have been vaccinated.

Currently about 55% of the Israeli population has been vaccinated.
