    CDC Monitoring Reports of Myocarditis and Pericarditis


    CDC has received increased reports of myocarditis and pericarditis in adolescents and young adults after COVID-19
    vaccination. The known and potential bene ts of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known and potential risks, including
    the possible risk of myocarditis or pericarditis. We continue to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for anyone 12 years of
    age and older.

    Authorized and Recommended Vaccines
