The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday that it will hold an emergency meeting to discuss a significant number of reports of heart inflammation in people who've received the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. The meeting, which will take place on Friday, June 18, will include an update on vaccine safety in light of the reported cases, according to an agenda draft that the CDC posted on its website.
Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle, while pericarditis is an inflammation of the sac of tissue that surrounds the heart, according to the Mayo Clinic. Symptoms of both types of inflammation include chest pain, shortness of breath, and a rapid, fluttering heartbeat, according to the CDC. If you ever experience myocarditis or pericarditis symptoms, you should see a doctor right away, regardless of whether you've been vaccinated. The condition can range in severity, from mild cases that can go away without treatment to the more severe, which can potentially cause other health problems, such as arrhythmia (an issue that affects the rate of your heartbeat) or lung complications, according to the National Institutes of Health.
