Researchers have found a link between rare cases of heart inflammation in children and COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, a group of doctors advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday.
The COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Technical (VaST) Work Group said the "data available to date suggest likely association of myocarditis," an inflammation of the heart muscle, with the mRNA-based shots in younger Americans, Fox News reported.
"It does appear that mRNA vaccines may be a new trigger for myocarditis yet it does have some different characteristics," said Dr. Matthew Oster during a panel at the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting on Wednesday.
The heart issues are very rare.

Officials said at least 79% of the patients recovered from their symptoms, which include chest pain, shortness of breath and difficulty sleeping.

Pfizer has previously said it had not observed a higher rate of heart inflammation than would normally be expected in the general population, while Moderna had said it could not confirm a causal association with the heart inflammation cases and its vaccine.
