There have been reports of some individuals experiencing heart-related issues such as myocarditis and pericarditis after receiving COVID-19 vaccines, particularly the mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. However, it is important to note that these cases are rare and the benefits of receiving the vaccine still far outweigh the risks.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have been closely monitoring reports of heart-related issues following vaccination and have found that these cases are rare, usually mild, and tend to resolve on their own or with minimal treatment.
Furthermore, the CDC has recommended that individuals who experience chest pain, shortness of breath, or feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart within a few days after vaccination seek medical attention.
It is important to remember that COVID-19 vaccines have been extensively tested and have been shown to be safe and effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death from COVID-19. The risk of serious complications from COVID-19 infection is much higher than the risk of any adverse reactions from the vaccine. It is recommended that people receive COVID-19 vaccination as soon as it is available to them, unless there is a medical reason not to do so.
