“…Pregnant individuals who experience a higher burden of adverse social determinants of health are less likely to be vaccinated against influenza and tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis, [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] and whether this holds for COVID-19 remains to be studied. Social determinants of health include multiple aspects of the built environment and social setting that impact access and uptake of healthcare services, including access to safe housing, transportation, and neighborhoods; experiences of racism, discrimination, and violence; availability of education, job opportunities, and income; access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities; and living in a space with clean air and water.…”

“…Main reasons for a negative attitude towards maternal vaccination found in our cohort included lack of knowledge on RSV and/or the vaccination and fear of harmful vaccine-related side effects for the unborn child. The importance of awareness of RSV-infection severity communicated by a trained professional has been shown in previous reports 23 40-42 and repeating this message might be key to emphasize the importance 43 . However, promotional campaigns should perhaps shift their focus towards the protectiveness and safety of the prophylactic method, as shown by two recently published studies 25 26 and confirmed in our study.…”

ObjectivesTo investigate the perception and willingness of pregnant women and their partners to accept maternal vaccination or neonatal immunization against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).DesignA cross-sectional survey studySettingPregnant women and their partners were recruited through healthcare professionals (midwives, gynaecologists, and Youth Health care), social media platforms (Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook via institutions like the Spaarne Hospital), and the 9-Months Fair in the Netherlands.Main outcome measuresWillingness and motivation in decision-making for both maternal RSV vaccination or neonatal RSV immunization among pregnant women and their partners, including strategy preferences, and informational needs.ResultsIn total 1001 pregnant women (mean age: 31.1 years) and their partners (mean age: 33.2 years) completed the survey. On average, they were 24 weeks pregnant at the time, and 54.6% had no other children yet. The majority was Dutch-born (95.2% of women); with 68.3% of women having completed higher education and with overall strong pro-vaccination attitudes (93.9% of partners intended to vaccinate their expected newborn). The overall acceptability to vaccination and immunization was high, with 87% of respondents indicating they would (likely) accept both strategies. A positive attitude towards both methods was associated with previous experience with severity of RSV, intention to vaccinate the newborn and parental vaccination status during childhood and current pregnancy. When the choice was given, the majority of participants, in particular those with children and the intention to breastfeed, favoured maternal vaccination over passive immunization of infants (75.3% of the pregnant and 71.6% of the partners). A majority of the respondents cited optimal protection for the child and knowledge of RSV as important factors for accepting RSV prophylaxis.ConclusionsWhile most participants would accept both strategies for RSV protection of their infant, a majority, especially those with other children, favored maternal vaccination, due to concerns about infant safety and awareness of RSV severity.

“…In addition, it is necessary to continue to offer vaccine despite refusal; in one study, 20% of pregnant people who received influenza vaccine had previously refused it. 49 Emphasizing the need for vaccination more than once helps patients realize its importance.…”
