Abstract EN
Coronavirus disease 201 9 (COVID-19) vaccination for children over 12 years of age began on May 2021 in the kingdom of Bahrain.
Very limited data is available regarding the adverse events related to COVID -19 vaccination in children.
This is a case report of a 12-year-old previously healthy boy with acute myopericarditis who presented on day 5 after first dose of Pfizer COVID - 19 vaccination.
Other causes of acute myopericarditis were ruled out.
He was treated with non - steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and recovered fully.
This case of vaccine induced myocarditis was reported to the national task force of Bahrain for combating COVID - 19.
