Your risk of getting into a traffic crash are significantly higher if you’re hesitant to get vaccinated against COVID-19, says a government-funded study released in December.

“Vaccine hesitancy is a reflection of psychology that might also contribute to traffic safety,” it says, concluding that “An awareness of these risks might help to encourage more COVID vaccination.”
