The small rate of myocarditis following administration of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is highest among adolescents, according to the TGA’s latest safety report.

Teenage boys appear to be at particular risk after the second dose although the absolute risk is low, the regulator says, a finding which has also been observed in the US, Israel and other countries.
