The CDC and the AAP have reported 7 cases of myocarditis (heart muscle inflammation) found in adolescent males who have received the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine earlier this year. To date, over 5.8 million adolescents have received the COVID vaccine. It is not clear if there is a direct link to the vaccine. However, all 7 cases presented within 2-4 days after the second dose of the vaccine. Symptoms were mild and resolved within 6 days. The physicians at Heritage Pediatrics still recommend vaccinating male and female adolescents given this is a low risk and it presents with mild symptoms. The primary symptom to look for after the second vaccine would be chest pain. In male patients, you may consider timing the second dose when you will be in town for a week after the vaccination.The case series is published below, if you would like to read for yourself. As always, let us know if you have any questions.pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2021/06/02/peds.2021-052478 ... See MoreSee Less

Patient Scheduling

Our goal is to see sick patients on the same day you call for an appointment. Though we realize this may not always be possible during busy cold and flu seasons or late afternoons, we will do everything possible to work you in. In the event that we cannot see you same day, our nursing staff will speak with you to evaluate the child’s condition and determine the best course of action. In these situations, we will try to provide home care and reassessment the next morning with appointments as needed.
