About The Study: This systematic review and meta-analysis of 23 studies found low incidence rate and largely favorable early outcomes of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine–associated myopericarditis in adolescents and young adults from a wide range of populations. These findings are reassuring but continued follow-up is warranted.
Authors: Jun Yasuhara, M.D., of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, and Toshiki Kuno, M.D., Ph.D., of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in Bronx, New York, are the corresponding authors.
