More Post-Vaccination Heart Inflammation Among Young Males After COVID Booster: CDC
Young males suffered heart inflammation at higher rates following a booster dose of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, according to newly released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Males aged 16 or 17 had about 139 cases of myocarditis, a form of heart inflammation, per million second doses administered, according to the data, which was drawn from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a CDC monitoring system.
But that same group had 200 cases of myocarditis per million booster doses administered, according to the data, which was from between Dec. 14, 2020, and May 28, 2022. Over 2 million total Pfizer-BioNTech primary series were administered in children, and about 230,000 booster doses, in the time period studied.
Males aged 30 to 39 also had a higher rate of heart inflammation following a Pfizer booster than the second dose, as did females aged 16 and 17.
Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are built on messenger RNA technology and both are administered in two-dose primary series, with the doses spaced several weeks to several months apart.
The new data is the first time a federal monitoring system has captured a higher rate of myocarditis following a booster dose, but some studies have previously indicated that young men were more at risk from a booster than the second dose.
Neither myocarditis or a related condition, pericarditis, were detected in clinical trials of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. As the shots were administered following authorization, reports of the conditions triggered medical chart examinations and other investigations, which has led to the conclusion that the vaccines are linked to the conditions.
Moderna’s vaccine is not yet available to children.
The new data was presented to the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory panel, which was being asked whether Moderna’s shot should be available for children.
The data was presented by Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, a CDC vaccine safety researcher.
“The incidence rates following vaccination tend to be highest in males, and highest after dose two,” Shimabukuro said. Looking at the new data, “You’ll see that the incidence rates are actually highest in males in males after first booster, and females after first booster,” he continued. “However, the case counts are fairly small and the 95 percent confidence intervals are quite wide, so we really can’t say there’s a difference between the dose 2 incidence and the first booster incidence based on these data.”
The typical incidence of myocarditis in the general population is 8 cases per 100,000 children, including 1.8 per 100,000 15- to 18-year-olds. The incidence decreases as people age.
VSD is a collaborative system run by the CDC and nine health care organizations, including Kaiser Permanente Southern California and the Marshfield Clinic Research Institute in Wisconsin.
According to the data from the system, not every group was more at risk following a booster.
