We tested whether COVID vaccine hesitancy was associated with the long-term risks of a traffic crash.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Methods<\/strong> \u2014 We conducted a population-based longitudinal cohort analysis of adults by determining COVID vaccination status through linkages to electronic medical records. Traffic crashes requiring emergency medical care were defined by multicenter outcome ascertainment of all hospitals throughout the region over the subsequent year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong> \u2014 We identified 11,598,549 total individuals, of whom 1,210,754 had not received a COVID vaccine. A total of 54,558 were subsequently injured in traffic crashes during the one-year follow-up interval, equal to a risk of 4,704 per million. Those who had not received a COVID vaccine had a 58% higher risk than those who had received a COVID vaccine (6,983 vs 4,438 per million, p &lt; 0.001). The increased traffic risks among unvaccinated individuals included diverse subgroups, were accentuated for single-vehicle crashes, extended to fatal outcomes, exceeded the risks associated with sleep apnea, and persisted after adjustment for baseline characteristics. The increased risks were validated in analyses using Artificial Intelligence techniques and generally larger than the risks of other adverse events frequently ascribed to COVID vaccination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Conclusions<\/strong> \u2014 COVID vaccine hesitancy is associated with significant increased long-term risks of a traffic crash. A greater awareness of traffic risks might encourage patients to take protective actions for personal safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Background \u2014 COVID vaccine hesitancy identifies a discrepancy between personal decisions and public guidelines.
