People with a History of Myocarditis or Pericarditis

People who have a history of myocarditis or pericarditis that occurred before COVID-19 vaccination or more than 3 weeks after a COVID-19 vaccine dose may receive any currently FDA-approved or FDA-authorized COVID-19 vaccine after the episode of myocarditis or pericarditis has completely resolved (i.e., resolution of symptoms, no evidence of ongoing heart inflammation or sequelae as determined by the person's clinical team). This includes people who had myocarditis or pericarditis due to SARS-CoV-2 or other viruses.
