Objectives. To identify factors associated with persistent COVID-19 vaccine refusal among Nebraska residents 6 months after an initial diagnosis. Methods. Using case investigation surveillance data and vaccination records from the Department of Health Human Services, a cohort 16 344 unvaccinated, COVID-19‒confirmed individuals (May 2021‒February 2023) were asked for their reason nonvaccination (RNV), then followed to assess subsequent status. We used modified Poisson regression estimate risk unvaccinated status at follow-up against predictors, including RNV, demographic characteristics, adherence mitigation measures, hospitalization, rurality. Results. Compared those whose RNV was missed opportunity/lack convenience, who cited religious exemption (adjusted incidence ratio [AIRR = 1.36; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.31, 1.41), philosophical objection (AIRR 1.28; CI 1.24, 1.34), or institutional confidence/complacency concerns 1.26; 1.19, 1.33) showed greatest nonvaccination. Older age, nonadherence higher rurality are positively Minority hospitalization correlated vaccination. Conclusions. Ideology-centered objections held significant weight previously infected displayed sustained reluctance toward Distinguishing sources misinformation ideologically similar communities could instigate reconsideration ( Am J Public Health. 2025;115(3):414–424. https://doi.org/10.2105/AJPH.2024.307921 )
