Channel 12 reported Friday
More than 5 million people vaccinated
62 recorded cases of myocarditis
56 of those cases came after the second shot
Most of the affected were men under 30.
60 of the patients were treated and released from hospital in good condition
2 deaths (22-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man)
details had also been sent to the US FDA and CDC, who were also investigating
one possible reason for lack of similar findings in other countries was the low rate of vaccinations among young people
There is specific concern regarding the frequency of the occurrence observed in men under 30 in the days immediately after the second shot
At this stage, according to initial findings that still need to be verified, there is an impression that the number (of cases) is higher than would be expected, especially for those under 30
Overall findings, 1-in-100,000
Aged 16 – 30 years, 1-in-20,000
We cannot yet tell if there are more cases than normal or if there are similar numbers annually and the proximity is just a coincidence.
Efforts to collect more data are continuing
Israel, children aged 12-15, when US Food and Drugs Administration approves
Health Ministry Director-General Chezy Levi
Once that age group has been vaccinated, the country will reach herd immunity
Therefore no need to vaccinate younger children
Vaccine choice, may be:
Younger women, Pfizer
Younger men, Janssen
