Israel flags possible link between Pfizer COVID vaccine and heart condition

Israel has said it has found a probable link between the Pfizer (PFE) coronavirus vaccine and a small number of heart inflammation cases in young men under the age of 30. The link was observed more among men aged 16 to 19 than in other age groups. The country's health ministry said 275 cases of the condition, known as myocarditis, were reported between December 2020 and May 2021 among more than 5 million vaccinated people. According to a study commissioned by Israel to examine the matter, most patients who experienced heart inflammation spent no more than four days in hospital, with 95% of the cases considered to be mild.
