  What is added by this report? During December 2020–July 2021, COVID-19 vaccine recipients had lower rates of non–COVID-19 Mortality than did unvaccinated persons after adjusting for age, sex, race and ethnicity, and study site.
  
  What are the implications for public health practice? There is no increased risk for Mortality among COVID-19 vaccine recipients. This finding reinforces the safety profile of currently approved COVID-19 vaccines in the United States All persons aged ≥12 years should receive a COVID-19 vaccine.
