myocarditis and covid jab

[Trixiebell06]

Hi , my dd has just had the 1st covid jab , I’ve received a letter from the NHS to book a second one . I’m weighing up her catching covid & having the vaccine . My concern is myocarditis and covid jab . Will your teen be getting the second jab ?

you can report to the yellow card scheme yourself. Ot doesn't have to come from a dr.

I know of a girl that did have it and ended up in hospital but it's not permanent and heart will recover.

It's not common, but it definitely happens.

All kids in Australia are having 2 jabs. There has been no reported rise in myocarditis in young people. There is always a rise in myocarditis during and after every flu season, however.

@DumplingsAndStew no your not more likely to get it from covid- I know tonnes of unvaccinated kids that have had covid and none of them have any issues at all - they weren't even ill!

The research that was published said that it was more of an issue with boys than girls but that research wasn’t great AFAIK. I would still want my boys to have it when offered.

My boys have their 2nd jabs booked.

@Remmy123 do you know all children?

The VAERS data shows a huge increase in reports of myocarditis.

But again, it’s not reliable. No one truly knows the answer. That’s not a great position to be in, it is not informed consent.

Myocarditis is a very common viral and post-viral symptom in kids.

My DD1 won’t be having a second vaccine - not due to myocarditis though. She had a pulmonary embolism a few weeks after hers - it’s not conclusively caused by the vaccine as she was on the pill too, but far too risky now. She’s now medically exempt.

She’s only 16.

I’m now very wary of letting her sister have a vaccine when she’s old enough to do it.

I’m in no way against the vaccine. Statistically, it’s the safer option, and I only wish we could do it.

You asked about my “no”. It’s because they don’t need it. Covid has hit our family twice and for all it’s been mild. So mild the second time I didn’t know until I got a LFT as positive

One of mine has a mild heart issue anyway. Given she breezed through covid, a vaccine was pointless

But my concerns run deeper. We have zero long term data and the data for efficacy looks piss poor.

Both my son's age 17 and 13 have had both Pfizer vaccines. No noticeable symptoms except mild sore arm on all 4 occasions. It's the myocarditis that some get mild and transient/self-resolves anyway?

Mine already has, I'm cev so they had their second in July, they've now had their booster

Yes.

Mine has already had their second due to clinical vulnerability, and I will have no qualms with them getting their booster either.

yes, my teens had both their vaccines.

myocarditis is more a risk of the illness than the vaccine.
my dc need their education and the vaccine helps having less interruptions.

Yes. My teens will absolutely be having the second one. I want to reduce the likelihood of them getting Covid and being very unwell, and reduce the likelihood on onwards transmission. I want them to be able to go to school, go on holiday and see their friends. It's a no brainer, especially as Covid has a higher risk of side effects than vaccines

Yes. DS, 17, has just had his second.

That’s not how risk and statistics work.

@toomuchlaundry

Myocarditis is also a problem with COVID

Do you have a peer reviewed study which shows this please?

This thread seems to show a lot of people happy to put their children in harms way because they want to feel they are 'better than others' and make their kids have an injection without actually looking at the real facts about the situation (that they pretend to know!).

Yes, I really enjoy putting my son in "harm's way." Some compensation for all the shirts he leaves on the floor.

Teens can make their own decisions, you know.

@Advance Misinformation about vaccines contributes to avoidable deaths.

Covid can cause myocarditis, but the vaccine doesn't cause long covid and can't be passed onto an elderly relative. The UK is behind comparable nations when it comes to vaccination of children. Maybe Boris would rather poor kids suffer from Covid-related absences from school than risk offending his hard-right back benchers and vaccine-anxious, Tory voting middle England parents.

Could you clarify where it says this? It seems to me to say quite the opposite. An excerpt from the study." Whilst myocarditis can be life-threatening, most vaccine associated myocarditis events have been mild and self-limiting. The risk observed here is small and confined to the 7-day period following vaccination, whereas the lifetime risk of morbidity and mortality following SARS-CoV-2 infection is substantial."
