Close observation for at least 15 minutes is recommended following vaccination. Myocarditis and pericarditis There is an increased risk for myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination with Spikevax. Few days, primarily occurred within 14 days, more often after the second dose, more often in younger males risk profile appears to be similar for the second and the third dose Available data suggest that the course of myocarditis and pericarditis following vaccination is not different from myocarditis or pericarditis in general. Healthcare professionals should be alert to the signs and symptoms of myocarditis and pericarditis. Vaccinated individuals should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they develop symptoms indicative of myocarditis or pericarditis, such as (acute or persisting) chest pain, shortness of breath or palpitations following vaccination. Healthcare professionals should consult guidance and/or specialists to diagnose and treat this condition.
