France is investigating five cases of myocarditis – inflammation of the heart muscle – which were detected in people who had received Pfizer/BioNTech’s coronavirus vaccine.
At the moment, there is no clear link between the cases and the coronavirus vaccine, the French health authorities said on Friday.
“Thus far, five cases have been declared in France,” the national medicines safety agency (ANSM) said in its weekly Covid-19 vaccine update.
“The available information does not provide enough elements, at this stage, to conclude that the vaccine played a role, but it nevertheless constitutes a potential signal that needs to be monitored,” the agency added.
