According to a survey of children and adolescents aged 12 to 19 in Korea, the incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis was higher in males after the second vaccination.
It was found that the probability of developing myocarditis and pericarditis when infected with COVID-19 was approximately 42 times higher than when vaccinated against COVID-19. In a study targeting children and adolescents in Korea, the incidence rate was higher in men after the second vaccination. However, the conclusion is that patients with myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination generally have a good quality of life, so the benefit of vaccination is greater. According to the ‘Observational Study on Myocarditis and Pericarditis After Vaccination with mRNA (Messenger Ribonucleic Acid) Covid-19 Vaccine in Domestic Adolescents’ ordered by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency on the 23rd and recently released by Korea University’s Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, compared to COVID-19 vaccination, the incidence of COVID-19 The incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis due to infection was approximately 42 times higher.
As a result of selecting and analyzing 33 studies out of 1,431 studies collected through a comprehensive literature search, the incidence of pericardium and myocarditis due to COVID-19 infection was 1,583.9 cases per 1 million people, which is higher than the incidence rate of pericardium and myocarditis due to COVID-19 vaccination of 37.6 cases per 1 million people. It was high.
In particular, the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis occurring after COVID-19 infection was analyzed to be about 40 times higher than after vaccination.
In addition, as a result of a survey of children and adolescents aged 12 to 19 in Korea, it was found that the incidence of myocarditis and pericarditis was high in men after the second vaccination. 8,135,240 Pfizer COVID-19 vaccinations were administered to children and adolescents aged 12 to 19, and 310 cases of suspected myocarditis or pericarditis were reported, of which 183 cases were actually diagnosed with myocarditis or pericarditis. The incidence rate is 2.25 per 100,000 cases. The incidence rate was high after the second and third vaccinations, and the average age of occurrence was 17 years old. When looking at the occurrence status by gender, 81.5% were men and 18.5% were women. Echocardiography revealed that 90% of severe cases were admitted to the intensive care unit, 10% received extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and no deaths were reported. The most common symptom was chest pain or chest tightness.
Overall, the quality of life of patients with myocarditis and pericarditis was good, but it is suggested that some patients may need support. Choi Young-jun, a senior researcher at Korea University’s Industry-Academic Collaboration Foundation, said, “Patients with myocarditis and pericarditis after receiving the COVID-19 vaccine may experience some difficulties, but they are generally showing a good quality of life.” He added, “The benefits of mRNA COVID-19 vaccination (COVID-19) “The risks (severe spread due to infection, risk in high-risk groups, prevention of risk of transmission) are greater than the risks (adverse reactions).”
However, Researcher Choi said, “As a result of the survey, some responded that depression and anxiety increased after vaccination, and some participants also experienced panic disorder.” He added, “Comprehensive and long-term support may be needed for some patients. In particular, high rates of depression and “It is important to take an individualized approach to people who show anxiety.”
In relation to this, an official from the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency said, “The COVID-19 Vaccination Damage Compensation Support Center is doing its best to provide as wide a support as possible to those who have been harmed by COVID-19 vaccination,” and added, “Various institutional arrangements are being made to compensate for COVID-19 damage.” He said.
