The SARS-COV-2 pandemic led to the development of several vaccinations to contain the disease. The Pfizer- BioNTech COVID-19(BNT162b2) vaccine was recommended on May 2021 for the use in children above 12 years and older. The vaccine is safe, well tolerated and highly effective. Initial reports showed no serious adverse events; however, cases of myocarditis in young healthy male adolescents were reported. We report two cases of myocarditis/perimyocarditis who presented with a short history of chest pain following administration of the second dose of the MRN COVID-19 vaccine.
