The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday claimed there have been no deaths reported in young people due to heart inflammation conditions, a known side effect of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, as a result of getting a coronavirus vaccine.
On Monday, the federal health agency acknowledged 2,574 preliminary cases of heart inflammation cases, myocarditis, in those who have received a coronavirus vaccine but said, “no deaths had been reported in young adults,” according to Reuters.
The CDC held an emergency meeting over the summer about the emergence of cases of myocarditis and pericarditis occurring primarily in young men after receiving one of the two mRNA vaccines. In a June 23 fact sheet, the CDC acknowledged “more than a thousand reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) of cases of inflammation of the heart—called myocarditis and pericarditis—happening after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (i.e., Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna) in the United States.”
“These reports are rare, given the hundreds of millions of vaccine doses administered, and have been reported after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, particularly in adolescents and young adults,” the fact sheet read, continuing to recommend parents to get their eligible children vaccinated.

Notably, on August 27, Moderna revised its fact sheet for recipients and caregivers. The sheet lists myocarditis and pericarditis as potential side effects of the vaccine, which it says has occurred in “some people” following their second dose.
