Cardiac Tamponade and COVID-19 Vaccination: correspondence

Dear Editor, we would like to share ideas on the publication “Cardiac Tamponade After COVID-19 Vaccination [1].” Hryniewicki et al. concluded that “Although a direct causal link cannot be demonstrated, we present this case to increase awareness among emergency physicians of pericarditis as a rare, but potentially serious adverse event associated with CO VID-19 vaccination.
