Some countries, Scandinavia and Japan, have stopped the Moderna vaccine for anyone under 30 years old as there might be a prevalence of heart problems in that population especially males, but they will give Pfizer vaccine to that population.
@Carazaa The US CDC looked at the numbers, saw that those heart problems are far more common in youth with Covid than with the vaccine. So, it becomes a tradeoff. Depending on how prevalent Covid is in a population, you might still reduce heart problems in 18-30 year olds even with Moderna.
