Although not critically ill, US health authorities investigate if heart inflammation seen in seven teen boys is linked to their second Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 shot
None were critically ill. All were healthy enough to be sent home after two to six days in the hospital and are doing ‘’doing pretty well,’’ said Dr. Preeti Jaggi, an Emory University infectious disease specialist who co-authored the report.
Only one of the seven boys in the Pediatrics report had evidence of a possible previous Covid-19 infection and doctors determined none of them had a rare inflammatory condition linked with the coronavirus.The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention alerted doctors last month that it was monitoring a small number of reports of heart inflammation in teens and young adults after the mRNA vaccines, the kind made by Pfizer and Moderna.
Authorities will have to tease out whether cases following Covid-19 vaccination are occurring more often than that expected “background rate.” “I think we’re in the waiting period where we need to see whether this is cause-and-effect or not,” said John Grabenstein of the Immunization Action Coalition, a former director of the Defense Department’s immunisation program.
