Myocarditis has been recognized as a rare complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mRNA vaccinations, especially in young adult and adolescent males. However, the exact mechanism behind these effects of the vaccine, especially in males, is unknown.
This video presents a case series with such incidences of myocarditis after COVID-19 vaccination. In these cases, there was no evidence of acute COVID-19 or other viral infections, which make it vital for the medical community to keep updated with the variety of indications in patients with symptoms of myocarditis post-COVID-19 vaccination.
