An expert consultant from the Hong Kong government found that myocarditis or pericarditis occurred in Hong Kong teenagers after the injection, which was higher than originally expected. Therefore, the updated recommendation is that adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 receive only one injection of Fubital.
Cardiology specialist Chen Jiantian pointed out in an interview with a commercial channel program that different myocarditis patients are very far apart and can be severe enough to require admission to the intensive care unit.
If a citizen suffers from asthma or heart palpitations after the injection, he must seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if he recovers and is discharged from the hospital, he must rest for 3 to 6 months, maintain exercise and a healthy diet, and return to the hospital for examination.
In the event of heart damage or abnormal heart rate, foreign practices must be followed up for at least 5 years. The Hong Kong Children's Hospital will follow up the relevant cases in the long term.

The expert committee of the Center for Health Protection announced the day before yesterday (15th) that the rate of myocarditis or pericarditis found in young people after injections has nearly doubled from 0.005% to 0.02%. Eighty percent of the cases were concentrated in the second injection of Forbitux Covid-19 vaccine. Later, it is recommended to follow Norway and the United Kingdom, and only one injection for 12 to 17-year-old teenagers.
The Education Bureau immediately updated the requirements for full-time face-to-face instruction yesterday (16th). Students between 12 and 17 years old will meet the face-to-face instruction requirements once a shot is given.
Cardiology specialist Chen Jiantian said on a commercial TV program today (17th) that myocarditis usually occurs when the heart muscle is inflamed. The most common cause of myocarditis in Hong Kong is viral infection, which is not very common, but not rare.
On average, the cardiology department of public hospitals has one to two cases per week. For example, the enterovirus mites virus B and influenza may also cause myocarditis.
The cause of myocarditis in a case of myocarditis after vaccination is not completely clear
Chen Jiantian said that the cause of myocarditis in young men who developed myocarditis after vaccination with Fubitel is not 100% clear. It is estimated that the mRNA vaccine triggered the immune response of the immune system and caused myocardial inflammation. This is one of the side effects listed by the European Medicines Agency. one.
However, the rate of myocarditis in young men in Hong Kong after the injection is higher than that in the United States, and more than 80 adults have myocarditis after the second injection. The median is two days after the second injection, which may be related to the active immune system of young people.
He believes that the current situation in Hong Kong is stable, there are no local confirmed cases, and there are no high wind teams. Experts refer to local conditions and cases and recommend that people aged 12 to 17 take a shot instead. This is quite reasonable and reasonable.
Seek medical attention if you have breathlessness or heart palpitations after the injection
Chen Jiantian reminded that after vaccination, you should pay attention to your health. In case of asthma, heart palpitations, etc., you must seek medical examination as soon as possible. Patients with myocarditis can be so severe that they need to be admitted to the intensive care unit. He added that patients have a chance of being mildly ill and can recover without being admitted to the hospital. Most people have no serious sequelae after recovery. They only need to take more rest, exercise and maintain a healthy diet within 3 to 6 months, but they must return to the hospital for examination.
However, if a patient discovers heart damage or an abnormal heart rate, foreign practices must be followed up for at least 5 years. Since there is no such data in the world, local children's hospitals will follow up the relevant cases in the long term.
