The US government still recommend COVID-19 shots for everyone 12 years of age and older, but with a new warning to watch for symptoms of an enlarged heart, as it is reported by a fraction of people receiving the Pfizer or Moderna shot.
“The known and potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known and potential risks, including the possible risk of myocarditis or pericarditis [enlarged heart]. Also, most patients with myocarditis and pericarditis who received care responded well to treatment and rest and quickly felt better,” the CDC said in a press release on Wednesday.
‘Recipients of Moderna and Pfizer COVID-19 shots should watch for chest pain; shortness of breath; feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart” and to seek medical care if any of the symptoms occur.’
Recipients should watch for chest pain; shortness of breath; feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart” and to seek medical care if any of the symptoms occur after the first or second shot.
