An exploration of midwives' role in the promotion and provision of antenatal influenza immunisation: A mixed methods inquiry.

CONCLUSION: Midwives identified an immunisation knowledge deficit. Midwives who had received immunisation education were more likely to actively promote and provide the vaccine to pregnant women. These findings indicate the need for more immunisation education of midwives in both tertiary and practice settings.
