Disparities in uptake of Shingrix® vaccine in immunosuppressed individuals in England: a population-based cohort study

Our study highlights suboptimal Shingrix® vaccine uptake during initial UK roll-out to immunosuppressed adults. Both relative and absolute differences reveal particularly low uptake among older people, those living with dementia or severe mental illness, and individuals from more deprived or minority ethnic backgrounds. Our results suggest a need for targeted strategies to improve access and reduce disparities in this vulnerable group.

Abstract

Our study highlights suboptimal Shingrix® vaccine uptake during initial UK roll-out to immunosuppressed adults. Both relative and absolute differences reveal particularly low uptake among older people, those living with dementia or severe mental illness, and individuals from more deprived or minority ethnic backgrounds. Our results suggest a need for targeted strategies to improve access and reduce disparities in this vulnerable group.
