Danish & Swedish authorities halt Moderna vaccinations for young people due to inflammation of heart muscle concerns
Denmark followed Sweden’s lead Wednesday pulling the Moderna vaccine out of rotation for those who are 18 and younger, Danish health authorities told The Local.
Sweden paused Moderna vaccinations for anybody under the age of 30, citing “signals of an increased risk of side effects such as inflammation of the heart muscle or the pericardium,” the country’s Public Health Agency said in a statement Wednesday.
The Health Agency also added that the “risk of being affected [from pericardium] is very small.”
