U.S. FDA adds warning about rare heart inflammation to Pfizer, Moderna COVID vaccines | Saltwire - SaltWire Network

(Reuters) - The U.S. drug regulator on Friday added a warning to the literature that accompanies Pfizer Inc/BioNTech and Moderna vaccine shots to indicate the rare risk of heart inflammation after its use.

For each vaccine, the fact sheets have been revised to include a warning about myocarditis and pericarditis, FDA said.

The latest update follows an extensive review of information and the discussion by CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices meeting on Wednesday.
