Participants were categorized as active donors, lapsed donors or non\u2010donors. Influenza, herpes\u2010zoster, pneumococcal and COVID\u201019 vaccine uptake were analysed in the age groups recommended and eligible for free vaccination and for pertussis in the age group recommended. We calculated age\u2010 and sex\u2010adjusted uptake percentages and differences averaged across 2021\u20132023, except for COVID\u201019 vaccine. Multivariable regression models were used to assess the association between donor status and vaccination uptake, adjusting for potential confounders.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 266,432 participants available for this research, 216,338 were eligible for analysis in 2021. Of these, 5734 (2.7%) were active donors, 29,237 (13.5%) were lapsed donors and 181,367 (83.8%) were non\u2010donors. Active donors had higher vaccination uptake than non\u2010donors (adjusted uptake ratio [95% confidence interval, CI] for influenza 1.05 [1.04, 1.06], herpes\u2010zoster 1.20 [1.13, 1.28], pneumococcal 1.10 [1.03, 1.17], pertussis 1.09 [1.00, 1.18]), \u22652 doses of COVID\u201019 vaccine in 2021 1.02 [1.01, 1.02] and booster COVID\u201019 dose in the second half of 2023 1.08 [1.02, 1.15].
