Prior PFO closure has no influence on whether you will get myocarditis after the vaccine. Myocarditis tends to occur more often in younger adults rather than in older individuals and recovery is the rule. I think the benefit of the booster dose outweighs the risk of myocarditis from a booster dose. I hope this helps. Good luck. Great countryside as the rest of England.

I would not think so. But your are at increased risk of dying if you get Covidh. Mask up and get the vaccination.
