The CDC has been monitoring reports of myocarditis and continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for people ages 12 or older. So far, rates of myocarditis seen among vaccinated people have not been different from expected baseline rates. Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle; this condition can be serious, but it is often mild and resolves on its own. Symptoms include abnormal heart rhythms, shortness of breath, or chest pain.
