“…Eleven of the 32 (34%) studies (Figure 2) examined pregnant people's acceptance or uptake of COVID-19 vaccination. [46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] Overall, COVID-19 vaccine acceptance rates ranged between 3% and 65%. Studies conducted before the COVID-19 vaccine became available in the U.S. showed that 41% 54 and 47.80% 46 of pregnant people would be interested in receiving it.…”

“…Specifically, Black and Latinx people have shown less trust in the vaccine and cited fear of side effects and risks to the fetus or neonate. 46,47,53,56 The lack of trust in the COVID-19 vaccine and vaccine refusal may stem from long-standing medical distrust among various communities due to historical misdeeds (e.g., Tuskegee syphilis study). 61 Contemporary healthcare encounters may also cultivate distrust of healthcare professionals and researchers.…”

IntroductionThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused a global pandemic that resulted in devastating health, economic and social disruption. Pregnant mothers are susceptible to COVID-19 complications due to physiological and immunity changes in pregnancy. We aimed to assess the maternal vaccine acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine.MethodsA multi-center study across four teaching hospitals in the Klang Valley, Malaysia was conducted between September 2021 and May 2022. A survey was conducted using a self-administered electronic questionnaire. The survey instruments included; (1) maternal perception and attitude toward COVID-19 vaccination, (2) COVID-19 pregnancy-related anxiety, and 3) generalized anxiety disorder.ResultsThe response rate was 96.6%, with a final number for analysis of 1,272. The majority of our women were Malays (89.5%), with a mean age (standard deviation, SD) of 32.2 (4.6). The maternal vaccine acceptance in our study was 77.1%. Household income (p < 0.001), employment status (p = 0.011), and health sector worker (p = 0.001) were independent predictors of maternal willingness to be vaccinated. COVID-19 infection to self or among social contact and greater COVID-19 pregnancy-related anxiety were associated with increased odds of accepting the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. Women who rely on the internet and social media as a source of vaccine information were more likely to be receptive to vaccination (adjusted odd ratio, AOR 1.63; 95% CI 1.14–2.33). Strong correlations were observed between maternal vaccine acceptance and the positive perception of (1) vaccine information (p < 0.001), (2) protective effects of vaccine (p < 0.001), and (3) getting vaccinated as a societal responsibility (p < 0.001).DiscussionThe high maternal vaccine acceptance rate among urban pregnant women in Malaysia is most likely related to their high socio-economic status. Responsible use of the internet and social media, alongside appropriate counseling by health professionals, is essential in reducing vaccine hesitancy among pregnant women.

“…There are certain categories of individuals who have expressed some hesitance toward taking the COVID-19 vaccine. Wang et al (2021) reported that based on their pregnancy status, some people were not inclined to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. With respect to minorities, McElfish et al (2021) found that COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy was higher among racial and ethnic minorities in the Marshallese Pacific Islands.…”

El coronavirus de 2019 (covid-19) ha venido acompañado de numerosos factores que han afectado negativamente a los pequeños Estados insulares en desarrollo (PEID). A pesar de varias campañas de vacunación contra el covid-19 y del número de personas que han sufrido o han muerto por haber contraído el virus, muchos jamaicanos han retrasado su vacunación. Este estudio investiga los factores detrás de las actitudes de los jamaicanos hacia las vacunas contra el covid-19. Sus conclusiones se basan en el análisis del contenido de los periódicos jamaicanos (N = 200), incluyendo columnas, editoriales y noticias publicadas en las ediciones en línea de dos de las principales publicaciones del país (The Jamaica Gleaner y Jamaica Observer). El estudio concluye que son varios los factores que determinan la actitud de los jamaicanos hacia las vacunas covid-19, entre ellos se encuentran sus posibles efectos secundarios, la elección personal, la percepción de la pandemia, el insuficiente conocimiento sobre la eficacia de las vacunas, las creencias religiosas y la desconfianza en el gobierno jamaicano y las autoridades sanitarias. El estudio subraya que para los PEID, como Jamaica, que se caracterizan por tener economías frágiles y sistemas de atención sanitaria pública deficientes, la indecisión sobre las vacunas es un obstáculo potencial para superar algunos de los retos relacionados con la pandemia actual. El estudio señala la necesidad crítica de mejorar la aceptación de la vacuna covid-19 entre los jamaicanos. La comprensión de las especificidades relativas a la indecisión en la vacunación permitirá al gobierno jamaicano y a los proveedores de atención sanitaria organizar mejor las campañas de sensibilización pública para abordar las preocupaciones de los no vacunados en Jamaica.
