CHICAGO (WLS) — A handful of teenagers and young adults who received the COVID-19 vaccines have experienced heart inflammation, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is recommending further study of the rare condition. More than 1.67 billion COVID vaccine doses have been given worldwide. Here in the United States, close to 60% of the population has received at least one dose. Yet, the CDC is investigating a tiny fraction of cases, about a dozen, of people who developed inflammation of the heart, a condition known as myocarditis.
