ACIP members agreed there is a likely association between the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines and rare cases of heart inflammation in adolescents and young adults. Almost all the cases resolved with little treatment and patients recovered quickly. The advisers said that the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks.
Don't think you need to worry Sasless - not really your age bracket.

Earlier this week, vaccine advisers to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention heard that the agency had received about 1,200 reports of such heart inflammation after 300 million doses of the two vaccines had been given. CDC has confirmed about 300 of those cases, many of them among young men and adolescents.
1200 reports out of 300,000,000 doses..........that's 1 in 250,000 so even rarer than the warnings on the EU webpage I linked to.

​​​​​​​But patients are recovering quickly, Dr. Matthew Oster, a pediatric cardiologist, told the advisers.
It seems myocarditis events after vaccination are more common in younger men but myocarditis events after INFECTION are more common in older men. In both cases the events are very rare.
