SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination and Myocarditis in a Nordic Cohort Study of 23 Million Residents
How many people got Myocarditis after covid vaccination in the Nordics?
From the study:
Question Is SARS-CoV-2 messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccination associated with risk of myocarditis?
Findings In a cohort study of 23.1 million residents across 4 Nordic countries, risk of myocarditis after the first and second doses of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccines was highest in young males aged 16 to 24 years after the second dose. For young males receiving 2 doses of the same vaccine, data were compatible with between 4 and 7 excess events in 28 days per 100 000 vaccinees after second-dose BNT162b2, and between 9 and 28 per 100 000 vaccinees after second-dose mRNA-1273.
Meaning The risk of myocarditis in this large cohort study was highest in young males after the second SARS-CoV-2 vaccine dose, and this risk should be balanced against the benefits of protecting against severe COVID-19 disease.

BNT162b2 = Pfizer
mRNA-1273 = Moderna
Even if this is higher/lower than the rate of myocarditis after getting covid, you can still get covid after being vaccinated, so it’s not an either/or. It’s both covid vaccination and covid infection.
