Myocarditis and/or pericarditis following mRNA COVID-19 VACCination national surveillance study (MYCOVACC)

Myocarditis | COVID-19 Infection

There are many causes of myocarditis and/or pericarditis and although rare, there have been reported incidents after having COVID-19 infection or receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations. Canadian and international data show a higher rate of myocarditis and/or pericarditis after receiving mRNA COVID-19 vaccinations than would normally be expected in the general population.

The purpose of this study is to collect information on how people who have this diagnosis in Canada are identified, treated, and assess how they do over the study duration. This may help to contribute to the overall understanding of this medical condition.
