NEW YORK, Aug 20 — US health officials are reviewing reports that Moderna Inc’s Covid-19 vaccine may be linked to a higher risk of a rare heart condition in younger adults than previously thought, theThe review was focused on Canadian data that suggests a higher risk from the shot than the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, especially in men below the age of 30, according to paper.
The possible review comes just two days after US health officials said that Covid-19 vaccine booster doses will be available to Americans from September 20, over concerns that initial vaccinations may offer lower protection in the face of rising infections due to the Delta variant. Data from a government agency’s safety monitoring system in that month suggested a rate of 12.6 cases of heart inflammation per million in 12-to 39-year-olds.
If new information changes the risk-benefit profile of Covid-19 vaccines, the FDA will update the public accordingly, the agency said in an email.
