A CDC survey of health-care providers found that 81% of their patients who developed myocarditis after vaccination completely or probably recovered.
However, there was no difference in the symptoms experienced by people who got either company's shots. Most patients were in the hospital for a single day and nobody was admitted to intensive care, according to the study.
Canada, the United Kingdom and several other countries have recommended Pfizer's vaccine over Moderna's shot in higher-risk age groups. Dr. Pablo Sanchez, a professor of pediatrics at Ohio State University, said the CDC's vaccine experts should consider making a similar recommendation. The CDC's vaccine experts are considering a longer interval of 8 weeks between the first and second doses of both company's shots to address the risk of myocarditis. Moderna's vaccine is fully approved for adults 18-years-old and over.
