National Trends and Disparities in Herpes Zoster Vaccination Among US Older Adults With Diabetes, 2008-2023.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate trends and disparities in herpes zoster vaccination among US older adults with diabetes.

Methods

Data from the 2008 to 2023 National Health Interview Survey were used. Joinpoint regression analysis was performed to analyze trends in herpes zoster vaccination. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to identify factors associated with herpes zoster vaccination.

Results

A total of 42 377 participants with diabetes were included, representing approximately 18 million US older adults with diabetes. From 2008 to 2023, the prevalence of herpes zoster vaccination increased nearly tenfold, from 4.2% in 2008 to 42.2% in 2023 (average annual percent change = 14.09, p < 0.01), with similar overall trends observed in adults without diabetes (p = 0.0
