[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The FDA is forcing Pfizer and Moderna to use expanded warning labels about the risks of heart damage tied to Covid vaccines.
The shots previously included warning labels about the rare risks of myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the sac-like lining surrounding the heart.
The new labels will expand that warning to certain age groups — specifically males aged 16 to 25 who appear to be at the highest risk of the rare complication.
The new guidance comes as an FDA analysis of insurance claims found myocarditis and pericarditis occurred in one in 125,000 doses of the 2023-2024 shots for children and adults under 65.
For men under 25, the risk was 19 per 500,000, or the equivalent of one in 250.
Experts caution there have been no US deaths directly tied to Covid vaccine-triggered myocarditis and that the Covid virus itself is linked to heart damage, meaning the benefits of vaccination might still outweigh the small risk.
The CDC previously acknowledged both conditions were known side effects of the vaccines but did not provide a number of cases.
It's unclear exactly when the new labels will go into effect or if Pfizer or Moderna disputed the order.
