ABSTRACT=Background: The objective of our study was to evaluate vaccine type, COVID-19 infection and their association with stroke early after COVID-19 vaccination.Methods: In a retrospective cohort study, we estimated the 21-day post vaccination incidence of stroke among COVID-19 first dose vaccine recipients. We linked the Georgia Immunization Registry with the Georgia Coverdell Acute Stroke Registry and the Georgia State Electronic Notifiable Disease Surveillance System data to assess the relative risk of stroke by vaccine type.
