The majority of cases appear to occur in men and symptoms take 2-3 days to be visible. Out of the total 475 cases, 81% of people have been fully recovered still nearly 19% still reported symptoms like chest pain or had an unknown status.

To review the same, CDC scheduled a meeting on 11 June but only discussed the condition. It did not vote on changing the recommended use of vaccines.
