Anonymous surveys were administered from February 2021 to May 2021 to pregnant patients at Mount Sinai South Nassau's affiliated Maternal Fetal Medicine office. The survey was completed by 701 pregnant women. Descriptive statistics were calculated for the overall sample, as well as separately by group (acceptance versus declining\/undecided about getting the COVID-19 vaccine). The two groups were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test and the two-sample t-test. Analysis was compared between two groups (patients who accepted the COVID-19 vaccine and people who declined\/undecided about the vaccine). A result was considered statistically significant at the p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05 level of significance.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results\u2003Of the 701 pregnant women who completed the survey, 96 patients accepted the vaccine. More pregnant women who were older accepted the COVID-19 vaccine compared with those who were younger (p\u2009=\u20090.0343). Pregnant women willing to get the flu vaccine and\/or the Tdap vaccine in pregnancy were more likely to obtain the COVID-19 vaccine (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). Pregnant patients who had household members willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine sought to obtain the vaccine for themselves (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). Interestingly, pregnant women who had an underlying respiratory illness in the pregnancy were less likely to accept the COVID-19 vaccine than those who had either other or no medical problems (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion\u2003There is a low rate of COVID-19 vaccine acceptance among pregnant women (13.69%). Efforts should be made to encourage the vaccine in this vulnerable population to protect them from the health risks of the COVID-19 virus.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Key Points\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0042-1757275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]],"date-time":"2022-10-19T23:08:46Z","timestamp":1666220926000},"page":"e617-e622","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"special_numbering":"S","title":["COVID-19 Vaccine Acceptance in Pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Temitope","family":"Odedokun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology\/Maternal Fetal Medicine, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Oceanside, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rafael","family":"Marquez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology\/Maternal Fetal Medicine, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Oceanside, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Meera","family":"Thakkar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology\/Maternal Fetal Medicine, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Oceanside, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Cheryl","family":"Dinglas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology\/Maternal Fetal Medicine, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Oceanside, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dina El","family":"Kady","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology\/Maternal Fetal Medicine, Mount Sinai South Nassau, Oceanside, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"02","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e3303","DOI":"10.1002\/jgm.3303","article-title":"COVID-19: virology, biology and novel laboratory diagnosis","volume":"23","author":"M Mohamadian","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Gene Med"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1152\/physrev.00024.2020","article-title":"Pregnancy and COVID-19","volume":"101","author":"E AN Wastnedge","year":"2021","journal-title":"Physiol Rev"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"m3320","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.m3320","article-title":"Clinical manifestations, risk factors, and maternal and perinatal outcomes of coronavirus disease 2019 in pregnancy: living systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"370","author":"J Allotey","year":"2020","journal-title":"BMJ"},{"issue":"38","key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1355","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.mm6938e2","article-title":"SARS-CoV-2 infection among hospitalized pregnant women: reasons for admission and pregnancy characteristics\u2014eight US health care centers, March 1\u2013May 30, 2020","volume":"69","author":"L Panagiotakopoulos","year":"2020","journal-title":"MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"100107","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajogmf.2020.100107","article-title":"Outcome of coronavirus spectrum infections (SARS, MERS, COVID-19) during pregnancy: a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"2","author":"D Di Mascio","year":"2020","journal-title":"Am J Obstet Gynecol MFM"},{"issue":"08","key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1167","DOI":"10.1016\/j.vaccine.2016.12.046","article-title":"Exploring racial influences on flu vaccine attitudes and behavior: results of a national survey of White and African American adults","volume":"35","author":"S C Quinn","year":"2017","journal-title":"Vaccine"},{"issue":"07","key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e0254863","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0254863","article-title":"Association of Tdap vaccine guidelines with vaccine uptake during pregnancy","volume":"16","author":"J D DiTosto","year":"2021","journal-title":"PLoS One"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.15585\/mmwr.ss6611a1","article-title":"Surveillance of vaccination coverage among adult populations -
