A member asked:
Is it safe to have a pfizer covid booster as i have paroxysmal af, in light of reports about heart inflammation?

The very rare adverse effect of heart inflammation was noted primarily in previously healthy young patients. Speak with your cardiologist for advice on vaccination for you specifically. For most people, risk of COVID-19 disease far exceeds the possible risks of any of the vaccines.

I would go to pubmed.gov and search A FIB AND vaccination for COVID-19. This will show you the worlds literature in the subject. Print out what you think are best articles and then discuss with your Dr. They will be impressed with your research and may even learn from this, let us know what you find. I have not heard/read anything about this so let us know what u find,
