A big safety review.
Nuffield Oxford full observational analysis of COVID vaccine risks in under 18s in UK vs background risk. N = 5.1m.
Results:
5-11 years: no excesses.
12-17s: ~5-per-million excess myocarditis cases per dose of BNT/Pfizer + two other uncertains.

This study significant because it's a well conducted observational one with a huge N and on the "marginal" group where the benefits of vaccination are smallest (risk of COVID is smallest) while the recognised risk of myocarditis greatest. Results: risks were indeed miniscule.
