Influenza and <scp>COVID</scp>‐19 vaccination in Canadian blood donors: A comparison across pre‐ and post‐pandemic periods

Seasonal vaccination rates are higher in older donors, consistent with public health recommendations. Blood donors are more likely to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza than the general population, but post-pandemic uptake of the COVID-19 booster vaccine was low, more similar to the general population.

Seasonal vaccination rates are higher in older donors, consistent with public health recommendations. Blood donors are more likely to be vaccinated against seasonal influenza than the general population, but post-pandemic uptake of the COVID-19 booster vaccine was low, more similar to the general population.
