More Reports of COVID Vaccine-Linked Heart Inflammation in Young Males Submitted to CDC

Reports submitted to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s vaccine surveillance system suggest that cases of post-COVID-19 vaccine-linked heart inflammation among young males have risen.

Recent figures published in the CDC’s Vaccine Safety Datalink surveillance system show that within a week of getting the two-dose Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, there were 14 cases of myocarditis or pericarditis among 102,091 males between the ages of 16 and 17. And of the 206,000 12- to 15-year-old males who got the same two-dose vaccine series, there were 31 cases within a week, according to the CDC (pdf).

Those reports were presented to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices on Sept. 1 show that the incident rate for the 12- to 15-year-old group is 150.5 per million—or about 1 in 6,600—and 137.1 per million for the 16- to the 17-year-old group—or about 1 in 7,262.

Following the first booster dose, CDC-presented figures show that it jumps to 188 per million among the 16- to 17-year-old group. But for the 12- to 15-year-old males, 61.3 per million developed heart inflammation after the booster dose, according to the figures.

In August 2021, the figures submitted to the CDC system (pdf) show that of 42.6 myocarditis and pericarditis cases per million and 71.5 per million for 12- to 15-year-old males and 16- to 17-year-old males, respectively. That breaks down to about one in 23,500 for the younger group and around one in 14,000 for the older group.

The agency noted that “myocarditis is a rare event following mRNA COVID-19 booster vaccination” and that it has “verified 131 myocarditis case reports to VAERS in people ages [5 years and older] after 123,362,627 million mRNA COVID-19 booster vaccinations.”
