Core Tip	Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) manifests with primarily respiratory symptoms and less commonly with cardiac involvement. Myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported in a variety of live and attenuated vaccines. However, to our knowledge, there are no published cases associated with COVID-19 vaccination as of October 2021. We present two cases of pericarditis following COVID-19 vaccination. Both patients were treated with colchicine and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents but with varying degrees of invasive work-up. The first patient had emergent cardiac catheterization, while the second patient underwent computed tomographic angiography of the coronary arteries. Neither patient required intervention, thus questioning the necessity of cardiac catheterization.
