CDC director says benefits of COVID-19 vaccination ‘far outweigh’ risks of rare heart issues
Fox News
Ahead of an anticipated CDC advisory panel meeting Wednesday relating to heart inflammation in a small fraction of vaccinated teens and young adults, head of the agency, Dr. Rochelle Walensky, suspects the data will reveal the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks of rare side effects and poor outcomes from COVID-19 disease.
The panel had postponed the emergency meeting that was scheduled for June 18 in observance of the newly established federal holiday Juneteenth. Critics said the decision lacked a sense of urgency, but Walensky said the panel's work did not stop due to the holiday.More Related News
