It has been confirmed that a second child suffered a “very mild” adverse reaction to the Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine. The child was diagnosed with Pericarditis, which is the inflammation of the pericardium, a sac-like structure with two (2) thin layers of tissue that surrounds the heart to hold it in place and helps it to function. The first case of an adverse reaction to the Pfizer vaccine was 17-year-old Tahirah Mohammed, who experienced the rare reaction of Anaphylaxis. She had since said her reaction should not discourage people from getting their children vaccinated and she is looking forward to her second dose once she is given the all-clear by her doctors. According to Cardiologist Dr. Ronald Henry, the second child presented last week after complaining of persistent chest pains after receiving the Pfizer vaccine. Dr. Henry diagnosed and treated the child. Speaking to Guardian Media on Thursday (26th August 2021), he said, “The usual markers that we do – blood tests and ECGs (electrocardiogram) and so—all were actually quite fine, which told us this was a mild case that did not go on to produce any deep tissue damage.” Dr. Henry then prescribed some anti-inflammatory medication for the child and said the symptoms resolved “promptly,” as they typically do. He said the child was now doing well and isn’t expected to have any long-term effects of the condition. Dr. Henry assured that this was an extremely rare occurrence and if it does present itself, it is usually not serious. “Thankfully, when Pericarditis occurs following the Pfizer vaccine, which the statistics are approximately one in 100,000 cases…it’s typically in kids and typically mild and usually will respond quite promptly to the correctly prescribed medications,” he said.
