"The investigation as to whether there is a correlation between his death and vaccination is now at the federal level with CDC," said a joint statement issued by Saginaw County Health Department Medical Director Dr. Delicia Pruitt and Health Officer Christina Harrington. © Provided by Tammy Burages Jacob Clynick, 13, of Zilwaukee, died June 16, 2021, just three days after he got a second dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. County health officials say the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is investigating his death. Start the day smarter. Get all the news you need in your inbox each morning.

The boy, Jacob Clynick, lived in Zilwaukee and had just completed eighth grade when he got his second dose of the Pfizer vaccine June 13 at a Walgreens store, said Tammy Burages, his aunt. Jacob was healthy, she said, and had no known underlying medical conditions. He was looking forward to starting classes in the fall as a freshman at Carrollton High School. He complained of common post-vaccine symptoms, she said, in the two days between his immunization and death, which included fatigue and fever. On the night of June 15, he had a bit of a stomach ache, too, but it wasn't severe enough to cause serious concern, Burages said. Jacob went to sleep that night, and never woke up. "He passed away in the middle of the night at home," she said. MANY UNKNOWNS IN TEEN'S DEATH The family was told that preliminary autopsy findings suggest Jacob's heart was enlarged when he died and there was fluid around his heart, Burages said. The Michigan Institute of Forensic Science and Medicine, which is the contracted medical examiner for Saginaw County, would not confirm those preliminary findings to the Free Press. "We can verify that we are managing the investigation, and that's the extent of what I can share," said Randy Pfau, director of operations for the institute. The institute's doctors are communicating with the CDC on this case, he said. "It's still an ongoing investigation," he said, which could take three to five months to complete. "I know the doctors are working on this case as a priority." No cause of death was listed on Jacob's death certificate, said Becky Naessens, funeral director for Deisler Funeral Home, because there isn't one yet. "Depending on the county and what labs ... medical examiners use, it could be weeks or it could be months, quite honestly," she said, before more information is known. Jacob's funeral was June 26 — just three days after a CDC advisory committee acknowledged "a likely association" between the Pfizer and Moderna coronavirus vaccines and a risk of heart problems in adolescents and young adults. Though it's still unclear what caused Jacob's death, his aunt hopes that federal investigators will at least find some clues from his autopsy investigation. "This is one of those things that I suspect they're never going to really be able to say, 'Oh, it was shot' or 'It wasn't shot,' " Burages said. © John Locher, AP In this Jan. 22, 2021, file photo, Tina Killebrew, a certified medical assistant, prepares doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine at a vaccination center at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in Las Vegas. A racial gap has opened up in the nation's COVID-19 vaccination drive, with Black Americans in many places lagging behind whites in receiving shots, an Associated Press analysis shows.

"There must be something that makes certain kids more susceptible to having a serious heart reaction, and I think Jacob was one of those kids. So whatever that serious thing was, whatever the underlying health issue was, is something maybe that the autopsy will tell us. "Of course, it is going to be months down the road and a lot of other kids will get the shot before then, so it would be nice to know now." A RARE POSSIBLE MYOCARDITIS ASSOCIATION The CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices found that among adolescents and young adults who got the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines, there appears to be an association with rare cases of myocarditis and pericarditis. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle that can affect heart rhythm and its ability to pump. Pericarditis is inflammation of the sac or pericardium around the heart. The complications have been reported at a rate of 12.6 per million among people ages 12-39 within 21 days after a second dose of the vaccine. The problems were most likely to appear within the first five days after vaccination, according to a Vaccine Safety Datalink analysis. Some cases have been reported after the first vaccine dose as well. © Ryan Garza, Detroit Free Press Nurses prepare doses of the Pfizer vaccine during a vaccination clinic as part of an outreach Henry Ford Health System at the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn on Monday, March 8, 2021. The clinic is part of the health system's initiative to get vaccines to communities that are vaccine hesitant due to rumors and disinformation about COVID19 vaccines.

Livonia man with lung transplant was among Michigan's first COVID-19 cases The heart complications are more likely to occur in boys and young men, the analysis found, and the most common symptoms are chest pain, shortness of breath, and the sensation of having a rapid heartbeat, a fluttering, or pounding heart. As of Monday, 780 cases of myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System among people ages 30 and younger who had received a COVID-19 vaccine. Operated jointly by the CDC and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, VAERS allows anyone — a patient, a doctor or nurse, friend or relative — to report any kind of post-vaccine medical problem, from a sore arm to sudden death. The reports are not substantiated or proved to be linked to the vaccines, but they are monitored and investigated as health officials watch for anything that might signal a safety concern. Of those 780 reports, CDC and FDA have confirmed 518 reports of myocarditis or pericarditis and are investigating those cases to understand more. The findings led the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to add a warning to the fact sheets for the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. Still, the CDC committee evaluating concerns about the heart problems post-vaccination agreed that the risk of severe COVID-19 illness and hospitalization among unvaccinated adolescents and young adults was higher in every age group than the risk of myocarditis or pericarditis after a vaccine. “Currently, the benefit still clearly outweighs the risks for COVID vaccinations in adolescents and young adults,” said Dr. Sara Oliver, lead for the COVID-19 Vaccines ACIP Work Group during the June 23 hearing. © Ryan Garza, Detroit Free Press Central City Integrated Health RN Precious McCormick draws up a dose of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine to be given to a person along Hamilton Avenue in Detroit on Wednesday, April 28, 2021. Central City Integrated Health paired up with The Salvation Army during their Bed & Bread Club delivery route as they deliver meals to those in need to help Detroit residents who might not have transportation to access the COVID vaccine. More: At the start of the pandemic, kids made up 2% of new COVID infections. Now, they make up 24%. What happened? That's a sentiment echoed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which issued a joint statement after the hearing that was co-signed by more than a dozen other organizations, including the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Heart Association, the American Medical Association and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It said, in part: “The facts are clear: this is an extremely rare side effect, and only an exceedingly small number of people will experience it after vaccination. Importantly, for the young people who do, most cases are mild, and individuals recover often on their own or with minimal treatment. In addition, we know that myocarditis and pericarditis are much more common if you get COVID-19, and the risks to the heart from COVID-19 infection can be more severe." That's something Dr. Rakesh Singh has seen in his practice. He's the medical director of the pediatric heart failure and transplantation program at NYU Langone Health and has led the hospital's care of children with acute cases of coronavirus. "About 15-20% of patients who have acute COVID also have evidence of heart inflammation," Singh told Dr. Marc Siegel, host of SiriusXM’s Doctor Radio’s, “Doctor Radio Reports." Many require supplemental oxygen and some need ventilator support. "Having watched this disease progress over the last 15 months, I think myocarditis from the COVID virus is what I'm more worried about than what I'm seeing after vaccination." HOW THE CDC INVESTIGATES VACCINE REPORTS The CDC did not acknowledge an investigation of Jacob's death, but told the Free Press "all serious adverse events are reviewed by CDC and FDA medical officers." Reports can be classified as serious or non-serious, said Martha Sharan, who works in public affairs for the CDC's Vaccine Task Force, COVID Response, in an email to a Free Press reporter. "The code of Federal Regulation defines 'serious' as: death, life threatening illness, hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization, permanent disability, congenital anomalies, or birth defects," she said. "If any of those conditions get checked, the report is classified as a serious adverse event. © Kimberly P. Mitchell, Detroit Free Press Maysaa Bazzi, 28, of Dearborn works for the Wayne County Health Department and prepares COVID-19 Pfizer vaccines for the nurses to administer at the Wayne County Community College District Downriver Campus in Taylor, Mich. on Feb. 6, 2021. As many as 2,000 K-12 staff are scheduled to get vaccines Saturday, as part of the first week of vaccination efforts for educators in the county. The shots will be given inside the building, but only 300 people can be indoors at once and still maintain social distancing. "For reports classified as serious, CDC follows up to get medical records: hospital records, clinic records, death certificates, and autopsy reports to better understand the adverse event." The CDC reviews the records, she said, and confirms the certified cause of death and "then does further analysis to see if there’s anything unusual or unexpected happening." Medical experts warn that when analyzing vaccine safety data, individual reports of deaths must be considered in the context of several factors, including the overall death rate among people who've gotten the vaccines compared with the overall death rate of the unvaccinated population. Anytime a mass vaccination program is rolled out on a scale such as this one, some people will die or have something bad happen to them after getting a dose of a vaccine simply by random chance alone. While Jacob's family continues to grieve his death, Burages said she hopes one day, they'll have answers that might help other families. "If there are factors that can make it riskier for some kids (to get a vaccine), I hope health officials can figure out what those are," she said, remembering Jacob as a kind boy who stood up to bullies and loved to go camping with his dad. © Ryan Garza, Detroit Free Press Two doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine wait to be administered in an underground parking garage at TCF Center in downtown Detroit on Wednesday, February 3, 2021 as an officer works to jump start the battery during the drive-up distribution for the city of Detroit. "The other kids at school looked up to him and voted him 'Most likely to become president of the United States' this last school year," she said. "He loved to tell corny dad jokes and always had plenty of them to hand out. He found the funny side of every situation and the world will be a little less fun without him in it."
