When testing 466 Danish blood donors, of whom 60 reported to be vaccinated against hepatitis A, 55 (11.8%, 95% CI: 9.0-15.1) had detectable levels of anti-hepatitis A virus IgG (> 10 m IU/ml). Among unvaccinated donors, the prevalence rate was 23/376 (6.1%, 95% CI: 3.9-9.0) with age above 50 y and use of private water supply being independently associated with seropositivity.
