And now the UK’s drugs regulator has updated the safety information to show it is a possible side effect for both.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency says the conditions is still “extremely rare” and “typically mild”.
The inflammation of the heart muscle can damage the organ over time.
Experts say the benefits of getting the jab far outweighs the risks, but it could impact the debate on vaccinating kids.
After investigating less than 100 cases in the UK, the MHRA concluded the vaccines could be the cause of swelling reports.
The conditions reported are myocarditis, which causes inflammation of the heart muscle, and pericarditis, inflammation of the lining outside the heart.
Young men are most affected, particularly after a second dose, research shows.
The MHRA said anyone who experiences “chest pain, shortness of breath or feelings of having a fast-beating, fluttering, or pounding heart” after a jab should seek urgent medical attention
