Pregnancy increases the frequency of severe maternal morbidity and mortality associated with these viruses. Vaccination plays an important role in protecting pregnant women and their infants from adverse outcomes. In this prospective study, we aimed to determine the vaccination uptake rate for influenza and COVID-19 in a pregnant population and to explore reasons why women remained unvaccinated. A prospective cohort study was conducted over a two-week period in December 2022 in the National Maternity Hospital, Dublin. There were 588 women surveyed over the 2-week period. Overall, 377 (57%) were vaccinated that year for seasonal influenza, a significant rise from 39% in a similar study in 2016. The majority (n\u2009=\u2009488, 83%) of women reported receiving at least one COVID-19 vaccine. However only 132 (22%) received a COVID-19 vaccine in pregnancy, despite 76% (n\u2009=\u2009466) stating they would be happy to receive it. Factors such as age, obesity, co-morbidities, ethnic group, and type of antenatal care received were shown to influence vaccination rates. We recommend that the importance of vaccination be stressed regularly to eligible patients at their antenatal clinic visits and where possible combining influenza\/COVID-19 vaccination on the same day to improve uptake.\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11845-023-03428-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,20]],"date-time":"2023-06-20T17:02:01Z","timestamp":1687280521000},"page":"289-293","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Uptake rates and attitudes to influenza and COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy \u2013 a prospective cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"193","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2423-4584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sarah M.","family":"Kelly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Orla","family":"Bracken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tariq","family":"Bholah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Crosby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"3428_CR1","unstructured":"Moghadami M (2017) A Narrative Review of Influenza: A Seasonal and Pandemic Disease.
