Weekly alert: Are COVID vaccines safe for young athletes?
Suggested Caption:
Although only a few (9%) of surveyed STL adults have heard COVID-19 vaccines cause heart problems among young athletes, two-thirds (67%) of those who heard it believed it. Multiple scientific studies have found no evidence of an increased risk of cardiac arrest after COVID vaccination.
Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle) is more common and severe after COVID infection than after getting the COVID vaccine.
