Abstract
Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are highly effective in preventing and decreasing disease severity, but the duration of the effect is attenuated over time and repeated vaccination is required. A 41-year-old Japanese male presented to our hospital with chest pain three days after receiving the third dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA vaccine. After various examinations, such as endomyocardial biopsy and viral polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing of endomyocardial biopsy tissue, we made the diagnosis of acute myopericarditis associated with booster vaccination. Here, we report a rare case of myopericarditis after booster mRNA vaccination.
Keywords: bnt162b2 mrna; booster; covid vaccination booster; covid-19 myopericarditis; covid-19 vaccine.
