The benefits of receiving an mRNA coronavirus vaccine continue to outweigh the risks of getting inoculated, the Singapore government s expert committee on COVID-19 vaccination said in response to an open letter by a group of doctors, according to a media report. Earlier this month, the committee had highlighted the possibility that the second dose of mRNA vaccines may be associated with a small risk of myocarditis and pericarditis in young men, Channel News Asia reported on Monday. Myocarditis and pericarditis are inflammatory conditions that affect the heart muscles and the outer lining of the heart respectively. The assessment after our review is that the benefits of receiving the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines continue to outweigh the risks of vaccination, said the committee. Data on myocarditis and pericarditis has not changed since, and the Expert Committee s assessment remains the same.
