Some parents may be thinking twice about teen vaccines after the CDC concluded there's a "likely association" between heart inflammation and COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, particularly in adolescents, according to a new KFF survey.
Driving the news: Nearly 75% of parents said they've heard at least a little about the link between vaccines and heart inflammation.
- About 40% of parents said they were very concerned or somewhat concerned about the link.
- And nearly half of the concerned parents said they would definitely not get their teen vaccinated or would only get them vaccinated if required.
