“Europe COMPLETELY BANS Moderna vaccine for young people due to HIGH RISK of heart inflammation”, reads the title of a video which is shared on social networks.
Some countries limited Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine among young people there, but by no means the whole of the continent prohibited it.

On October 6, Sweden declared he suspended the administration of the Moderna vaccine to people born in 1991 or later, and Denmark has said it is suspending its administration to people under the age of 18, due to the risk of rare cardiovascular side effects.
October 7, Finland followed suit and said he would give Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to men and boys born in 1991 and later instead of the Moderna vaccine. Norwegian officials also said they recommend that men under the age of 30 receive the Pfizer vaccine, not Moderna.
And on October 8, Icelandic officials said they had temporarily suspended the use of the Moderna vaccine before reversing the position slightly on Oct. 12, claiming it would only be used for booster shots for people 60 and older.
Five of 44 European countries recently restricted the use of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. To claim that the continent has completely banned the vaccine among young people is false.
We rate this post as false.
