Comparison of hematological parameter frequency and absolute counts in males.
Box and whisker plots showing median and 2.5–97.5 percentiles of (A) neutrophils in semi-urban blood bank donors [SU] and vaccine trial [U]; (B) eosinophils; (C) lymphocytes; (D) basophils; (E) B monocytes; and (F) hemoglobin levels and RBC counts. The non-parametric Mann Whitney U test was used to determine any statistically significant differences between cohorts; *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001, ****p<0.0001.

Association between age, lymphocytes and hematological parameters.
Correlation graphs of (A) Age and CD4 T cell frequency; (B) Age and RBC count; (C) Age and hemoglobin levels; (D) eosinophil and CD3 T cell counts; and (E) basophil and CD3 T cell counts. The Spearman’s rank correlation was used to assess associations between parameters, with rho ≥ 0.25 and p values < 0.05 considered statistically significant.

Associations between lymphocyte and basophil counts.
Correlation graphs of (A) basophil and CD8 T cell counts; (B) basophil and CD4 T cell counts; and (C) basophil and B cell counts. The Spearman’s rank correlation was used to assess associations between parameters, with rho ≥ 0.25 and p values < 0.05 considered statistically significant.
