Death rates and myocarditis rates.

Differences in death rates by vaccination status for people 50 and older. Get vaccinated!

People that received two or more boosters had 14 times lower risk of dying from COVID than the unvaccinated.

Even with many of the unvaccinated having been previously infected, there is still a large difference in mortality for those that were vaccinated. Make sure you are up to date on your vaccinations!

No myocarditis cases seen among children aged 6 months to 4/5 years old yet who received the coronavirus vaccines among 1.5 million doses.

Likewise for children 5-11 years old, no statistically significant signal of myocarditis after the first booster.

The rare risk of myocarditis is concentrated in teens and young adults, primarily for the second dose, not the first dose or booster doses.

I'll also stress again that myocarditis from the vaccines is rare and fully resolves in a couple months in those affected. The risk and severity of myocarditis from coronavirus infection itself is higher than from the vaccines. Protect them from it by getting them vaccinated!
