![Results
A total of 22767 546 vaccinated and 5932 443
unvaccinated individuals were followed up for a median
(IQR) of 45(44-46) months. Vaccinated individuals were older than unvaccinated individuals (mean [SD] age, 38.0 [11.8] years vs 37.1 [11.4] years), more frequently women (11688 603[51.3%] vs 2 876 039 [48.5%]) and had more cardiometabolic comorbidities (2126 250[9.3%] vs 464 596[7.8%]). During follow-up, 98 429(0.4%) and 32662 (0.6%) all-cause deaths occurred in the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, respectively. Vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 (weighted hazard ratio [WHR], 0.26 [95% CI, 0.22-0.30]) and a 25% lower risk of all-cause mortality (wHR, 0.75 [95% CI, 0.75-0.76]), with a similar association observed when excluding severe COVID-19 death. Sensitivity analysis revealed that vaccinated individuals consistently had a lower risk of death, regardless of the cause. Mortality was 29% lower within 6 months following COVID-19 vaccination (relative incidence, 0.71 [95% CI,
0.69-0.73]).
Conclusions and Relevance
In this national cohort study of 28 million individuals, the results found no increased risk of 4-year all-cause mortality in individuals aged 18 to 59 years vaccinated against COVID-19, further supporting the safety of the mRNA vaccines that are widely used worldwide.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:llgfbjvsqkaicezsf7mzjxr3/bafkreiaetadcmwtuqyko4zil4s77bt27sisq2pchm3sdessphb6wwuu6me)
