The risk of acute myocarditis associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccination is rare and usually resolves quickly, while the risks of hospitalization and death from COVID-19 are greater. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination is recommended for adolescents and adults.
The risk of acute myocarditis associated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccination has garnered intense (social) media attention. However, myocarditis after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination is rare and usually resolves within days or weeks. Moreover, the risks of hospitalization and death associated with COVID-19 are greater than the risk associated with COVID-19 vaccination. Therefore, COVID-19 vaccination should be recommended in adolescents and adults.
