Sumario:Myocarditis was recently described as one of the complications secondary to COVID-19 vaccination. We present a 38-year-old lady diagnosed with vaccine-related myocarditis a few days after receiving the mRNA-1273 vaccine. We also summarize what is reported in the literature about the association between COVID-19 vaccination and myocarditis. In conclusion, COVID-19 immunization appears to be associated with significantly fewer adverse outcomes than COVID-19 infection among all age groups.
