What parents should know about rare cases of heart inflammation in young people after a COVID-19 vaccine

• The CDC acknowledged Wednesday that mild heart inflammation may be a rare side effect of COVID-19 vaccination.
• The condition, called myocarditis, is more common in young men and teenage boys, especially after their second dose.
• COVID-19 is still a greater threat to the heart, though, which is why health experts recommend vaccination.

Federal disease investigators at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are keeping an eye on cases of myocarditis and perocarditis after vaccination against the coronavirus.

They're keeping an especially close watch on teenage and young adult men who've been administered two doses of Pfizer or Moderna's COVID-19 vaccines.

The good news is that it is both exceedingly rare and mild. Here's what parents need to know.
