The covid-19 vaccine may not cause more heart inflammation than any other jab.
In rare cases, the Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna covid-19 vaccines have been linked to heart inflammation. The UK's delayed decision to roll-out covid-19 vaccines to 5-to-11 year olds was due to the higher risk among younger people.
An analysis of 22 studies with hundreds of millions of vaccine doses administered between them shows heart inflammation is no more common after a covid-19 jab than it is after vaccines that protect against some other infections.
