Product information about Moderna and Pfizer-BioEntech vaccines now warns about an increased risk of heart inflammation, a rare side effect of the shots. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said the risk is particularly high after a second dose of COVID-19 vaccines, and symptoms usually appear within a few days of vaccination.
However, the benefits of vaccines against COVID-19 outweigh the risks posed by side effects, which are most common in people under the age of 30, government health officials say.
The fact sheet states that people should seek immediate medical care if they have chest pain, shortness of breath, or a pounding, fluttering, or pounding heart after vaccination. The FDA noted the change in fact sheets for patients and health care providers in a website post on Friday. The issue was discussed after the action Wednesday by a committee that advises the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccination.
After that meeting, top government health officials and medical organizations issued an unusual joint statement saying that side effects in young people are extremely rare and usually mild, and that many recover on their own or with minimal treatment. .
