abstract={Myocarditis and pericarditis are known adverse effects from mRNA Covid-19 vaccines and are seen in young men usually after the second dose of vaccine. We report a case of recurrent pericarditis in a 67 year old man with history of diabetes and chronic kidney disease that occured with both vaccine doses, with the second episode associated with interval development of small pericardial effusion and moderate pleural effusion. Patient did not seem to have concomitant myocarditis as he did not have any troponin leak. He was managed with colchicine and prednisone with resultant improvement of his inflammatory markers on follow up.},
