How Common Are Cardiovascular Complications Post-Vaccination?
The incidence of cardiovascular complications after vaccination is rare. For instance, the occurrence of myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) or pericarditis (inflammation of the lining around the heart) has been reported in a small number of cases following mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. The risk is higher in younger males, particularly after the second dose, but still remains low compared to the overall benefits of vaccination.
