KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — The Ministry of Health said today it has yet to detect local cases of myocarditis or pericarditis following reports that an increasing number of adolescents shot with mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines had developed the two conditions.
The ministry said it took note of reports that cases of myocarditis and pericarditis have been on the rise in countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, but gave its assurance that mRNA vaccines are still safe for use and the “benefits far outweigh the risks.” “The MOH would summarise that the safety profiles of the vaccines remain positive and its use for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme will not be affected. The benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks,” it added.In the US, the CDC said the two conditions have been linked to mRNA Covid-19 vaccination such as those found in Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna although it observed no similar pattern after receipt of the Janssen Covid-19 Vaccine .
As of June 13, a total of 2,793,826 Corminaty vaccines have been administered with 1,676,959 people having received their first dose and 1,116,867 for two doses.
