Influenza Vaccination Coverage Among Pregnant Women in the U.S., 2012–2015

ConclusionsVaccination coverage among pregnant women from this nationally representative sample was suboptimal during recent influenza seasons. Vaccination coverage was lower among certain sociodemographic, access-to-care subgroups. Multifactorial vaccination barriers may exist. Interventions, such as assessing vaccination history at every visit and implementing reminder–recall systems, standing orders, and addressing vaccination hesitancy, are needed to increase vaccination uptake among pregnant women.
