ABSTRACT
Given the urgent need to control the spread of the novel COVID-19 virus, 13 vaccines have been approved for emergency use before completing all 3 phases of the clinical trials. Thereby a careful monitor of the adverse effects postvaccination is essential. We searched through PubMed and other reporting systems like VAERS for the reported cardiovascular adverse events post-COVID-19 vaccination. Through our review, we determined that the incidence of all the reported cardiovascular events is very rare. Additionally, the vaccine was initially given to the elderly and high-risk populations in which cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and arrhythmias are already more prevalent, while other cardiovascular events such as myocarditis or vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia were more common in younger populations. Moreover, a direct causal relationship, if any, between vaccination and adverse events is yet to be fully elucidated. Thus, at this time point, the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risk.
