CDC’s Dr. Daniel Jernigan: ‘Risk of Getting Myocarditis Is Much Lower Among Those Vaccinated’

EXCERPT:

JERNIGAN: “You mentioned the TTS associated with the J&J vaccine. The systems have been able to pick up myocarditis and show that the risk of getting myocarditis is much lower among those vaccinated than among those that were unvaccinated. It's even a system that we've been able to pick up signals that turn out not to be signals. So ischemic stroke can occur, and we picked up a signal, but when we continue to follow it, it went away. So we get signals that sometimes are there, sometimes aren't, but it allows us to see things early so that we can act quickly and change recommendations when needed.”
