Vaccination against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is crucial for preventing and minimizing illness. Myocarditis and pericarditis after messenger RNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccination in adolescents and young adult males have been reported. Most of the studies in this area rely on retrospective symptom reporting, especially for adolescents experiencing myocarditis as a potential side effect. However, prospective postvaccination echocardiographic evaluation is rare. ⋯ Although adolescents vaccinated with the second dose of BNT vaccine commonly experienced transient postvaccination discomfort, the serial echocardiographic examinations did not reveal any significant deterioration of cardiac function within 28 days. Further studies are required to investigate the incidence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) mRNA vaccination-associated myocarditis in adolescents and the related mechanisms.

Effects of permanent placental injury due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy on the feto-placental circulation: a cross-sectional study.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of permanent placental injury due to a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy on feto-placental circulation. ⋯ Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection during pregnancy causes an increase in perivillous fibrin deposition and villus dystrophic calcification in the placenta. Placental injury caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 virus does not affect fetal Doppler parameters.
