The global rollout of mass vaccination against the coronavirus has been a monumental public health achievement, successfully curbing infection rates and drastically reducing severe illness and mortality worldwide. However, as with any widespread medical intervention, ongoing surveillance has identified rare adverse reactions, one of which has drawn significant attention from the medical community: myocarditis.
