In the Brighton Collaboration classification system for the diagnosis of myocarditis, level 1 indicates definite, level 2 probable, level 3 possible, level 4 insufficient data, and level 5 ruled out. Included are data for persons who had a delayed second dose of vaccine and who received a diagnosis of myocarditis 22 days or longer after the first dose and those in whom myocarditis developed more than 30 days after the second dose, so the diagnosis was not considered to have been made in temporal proximity to vaccination.
