Acceptance of Routine Vaccines in Pregnancy during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Conclusion During the COVID-19 pandemic era, pregnant people at large were more likely to accept the influenza vaccine. However, this trend did not apply to Tdap, and high-risk groups with public insurance and medical comorbidities. This study highlights potential disparities in vaccination rates, which need to be accounted for when evaluating national vaccine trends. These data support increased efforts in vaccine counseling for high-risk populations.

Promoting informed decision-making about maternal pertussis vaccination in Centering Pregnancy group-antenatal care: A feasibility study
CONCLUSION: Discussing MPV in CP care settings is a feasible strategy to support decision making about MPV during pregnancy. The intervention could be improved by discussing the MPV sooner than 16-18 weeks of pregnancy. A larger-scale study is needed to assess effects on MPV uptake and informed decision making.PMID:37979552 | DOI:10.1016/j.midw.2023.103869 (Source: Midwifery)

Effects of an online tailored decision aid to promote informed decision making about maternal pertussis vaccination in the Netherlands: A randomized controlled trial
This study evaluates the effects of an online DA on IDM and MPV uptake.METHODS: Pregnant individuals, recruited for the randomized controlled trial (RCT), who gave informed consent (N = 1,236) were randomly assigned to the control (N = 650; no information) or intervention condition (N = 586; DA at 18 weeks pregnancy). MPV uptake and IDM were primary outcomes, decisional certainty and psychological determinants of MPV uptake were secondary outcomes. Measures were taken at 18 weeks of pregnancy (baseline) and at 20 weeks of pregnancy (post-test); intervention use was logged. Data were analysed using intention-to-treat analys...

Evaluation of intentions to get vaccinated against influenza, COVID 19, pertussis and to get a future vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus in pregnant women
CONCLUSION: Confidence is associated with seasonal influenza, COVID-19 and RSV vaccines acceptance in pregnant women. Receiving a recommendation from a HCP was strongly associated with acceptance of influenza vaccine. Recent vaccination against pertussis was not a barrier to pertussis vaccine acceptance during pregnancy.PMID:37957038 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.10.067 (Source: Vaccine)

Maternal pertussis vaccination behavior: Psychosocial, attitudinal and organizational factors
CONCLUSION: Pregnant women make their decision about the MPV primarily based on attitudinal and psychosocial factors, such as outcome expectations and attitude. A combination and variation of different messages, about the advantages (effectiveness) and disadvantages (side effects) of maternal vaccination, can be used in reaching pregnant women with a positive and negative attitude about the MPV. In addition, strategies to increase MPV uptake should not only focus on providing information, but also decrease experienced practical barriers, such as poor physical accessibility, in people that are intended to receive the MPV bu...

Maternal vaccination provision in NHS maternity trusts across England
CONCLUSION: A high proportion of maternity trusts provide both pertussis and influenza vaccinations, despite a negative impact of the pandemic. Reasons for large between-trust variation in vaccination rates should be explored to improve uptake and equity.PMID:37951792 | DOI:10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.10.069 (Source: Vaccine)

Coverage with Selected Vaccines and Exemption from School Vaccine Requirements Among Children in Kindergarten - United States, 2022-23 School Year
MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep. 2023 Nov 10;72(45):1217-1224. doi: 10.15585/mmwr.mm7245a2.ABSTRACTU.S. states and local jurisdictions set vaccination requirements for school attendance and conditions and procedures for exemptions from these requirements. States annually report data to CDC on the number of children in kindergarten who meet, are exempt from, or are in the process of meeting requirements. National- and state-level estimates for complete vaccination with measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (MMR); diphtheria, tetanus, and acellular pertussis vaccine (DTaP); poliovirus vaccine (polio); and varicella vaccine (VAR); ex...
