Original Note:
Myocarditis appears to be an issue with young males in Hong Kong (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2789584), but broader population studies describe it as "rare" (https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/myocarditis-covid-vaccine-teens-study-rcna60118). Nevertheless, Hong Kong is making the shot available for 5-11 year olds (https://www.reuters.com/world/china/biontech-vaccine-children-be-available-hong-kong-nov-2-2022-10-28/). There is no mention of concerns or restrictions for 12-18 year old males.
