“…Identifying determinants of influenza vaccine uptake in pregnancy may help target education efforts and intervention strategies to most efficiently promote vaccination in pregnancy. Previous studies have identified patient-level factors associated with acceptance of influenza vaccination during pregnancy in Canada, including perception of disease susceptibility and severity, perception of benefitsâincluding safety and effectivenessâof vaccination, being cared for in pregnancy by a family practitioner, greater knowledge about influenza and vaccinations, and demographic factors including multiparity, comorbidities, higher income, higher education, married status, and older maternal age (Poliquin et al, 2019). Some studies have applied the health belief model (Bettinger et al, 2016; Fabry et al, 2011), but most have not been theory driven, instead using cross-sectional data to identify demographic factors associated with vaccination (Brien et al, 2012; Gracie et al, 2011; Hilderman et al, 2011; Legge et al, 2014; Liu et al, 2012; Yudin et al, 2009), or exploring of the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs of mothers (Halperin et al, 2014; Kowal et al, 2015), practitioners (Desjardins et al, 2017; Lee et al, 2005), or both (Tong et al, 2008).…”
