YET ANOTHER CHANGE FROM THE CDC----NOW SAYS SOME PEOPLE SHOULD WAIT LONGER FOR 2ND COVID SHOT DUE TO HEART INFLAMMATION RISK

By Zachary Stieber----February 23, 2022 Updated: February 23, 2022---The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has officially altered its recommended COVID-19 vaccination schedule in a bid to address concerns about the elevated rate of heart inflammation seen among many groups who have gotten a vaccine.

The two most widely administered COVID-19 vaccines in the country are made by Moderna and Pfizer. Recipients are advised to get a two-dose primary series of each.

Before the new update, people were told to get a second Pfizer shot 21 days after the first, or a second Moderna shot 28 days after the first.  The new guidance says people can wait as long as eight weeks between the first and second jabs.

Lengthening the interval is a response to the higher-than-expected rates of myocarditis and pericarditis, two types of heart inflammation, found among men under 40 and some females after they’d gotten a second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna jabs.  MORE HERE.
