Age and sex-specific risks of myocarditis and pericarditis following Covid-19 messenger RNA vaccines
Abstract
There have been reports of myocarditis and pericarditis following mRNA COVID-9 vaccination. Here, the authors use nationwide data from France and find increased risks of these outcomes in the first week following vaccination, for both the first and second dose, and present age- and sex-specific rates.
