Data from Israel: myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccines remain rare, highest risk in young males

An examination of data of people who received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine in Israel found males 14 to 30 years of age were the most susceptible to myocarditis after a second or third dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, however, the overall risk remains relatively low. Among males ages 16 to 19 years, approximately 1 in 15,000 developed myocarditis after a booster dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. All confirmed cases of myocarditis were mild and resolved after a short hospital stay (average of 3.5 days), and no hospital readmissions were reported in the following 90 days.
