After using Spikevax, manufactured by the company Modern for vaccination against coronavirus in adolescents, there may be rare side effects on the cardiovascular system. For this reason, Denmark, Sweden and Norway will not use it for people born in 1991 and later.
We are talking about the possible appearance of myocarditis and pericarditis, as well as inflammation of the heart or its inner lining. This is evidenced by data from an unpublished study by the Swedish Health Agency. Reuters.
Reportedly, on Wednesday, October 6, the ministries of health of the countries made relevant statements. In particular, Denmark noted that they decided to abandon the drug Moderna for adolescents as a precautionary measure. As the main option for vaccination of people 12-17 years old, the country uses a drug from Pfizer / BioNTech.
However, the Danish Ministry of Health said in a statement that the number of reported cases is very small, as is the risk of side effects.
Sweden said the link between the vaccine and the development of cardiovascular disease “is especially evident when it comes to the Moderna vaccine, especially after the second dose.”
The Norwegian authorities, for their part, urged those under 30 to receive the Pfizer vaccine. In addition, Finland said it should decide on the use of Moderna for youth on Thursday, October 7th. It is expected that the country may also refuse the drug for this category of citizens, said the chief physician of the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare Hanna Noginek.
Earlier in the United States, it was said that the American vaccine Moderna could cause eight common side effects. This was pointed out by scientists from the Agency for the Regulation of Medicines and Health Products. According to them, the side effect usually affects one in 10 people vaccinated.
As reported OBOZREVATEL, a study by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says Moderna’s drug best protects from hospitalization due to the effects of the coronavirus.
