We have not seen a signal and we've actually looked intentionally for the signal in the over 200 million doses we've given, Walensky said in a press briefing.

NEW YORK: The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has not seen a link between heart inflammation and Covid-19 vaccines, CDC director Rochelle Walensky said on Tuesday.

"We have not seen a signal and we've actually looked intentionally for the signal in the over 200 million doses we've given," Walensky said in a press briefing.

She said the CDC is in touch with the U.S. Department of Defense over its investigation of 14 cases of heart inflammation or myocarditis among people who were vaccinated through the military's health services.
