BY Chandrayee Roy Choudhury, Canada: The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine caused mostly mild side effects in children aged five to 11 years, according to data published by the U.S. Centers for Dis
The data showed that after the second dose of the vaccine, some children reported injection-site pain and other systemic reactions such as fatigue and headache.
The CDC said it also received reports of 11 cases of myocarditis, a type of heart inflammation, in children aged five to 11 years who had received the vaccine. Of them, seven had recovered, and the other four were recovering at the time of the report.
Myocarditis is a rare side effect after mRNA vaccines.
