New York, June 6 (Ians) Covid-19 mRNA vaccines given to young children (most of them age 4 and younger) are safe and showed no indications of serious side effects, according to a review of more than 245,000 doses.
The study marks the first analysis looking for serious side effects from the mRNA vaccines in young children.
Researchers from the Kaiser Permanente and the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) examined patient records from June 2022 to March 2023 for both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
The results, published in the journal Pediatrics, showed that there was no indication of the heart inflammation called myocarditis among the young vaccinated children.
“We havena¿t seen any myocarditis or pericarditis in this youngest age group, which is very reassuring,” said said lead author Kristin Goddard, Mph, research project manager with the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Study Center.
