At the time of writing, the previous advisory committee on immunization practices (ACIP) recommended that pregnant women receive the COVID-19 vaccine, influenza, tetanus-toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine, as well as respiratory syncytial virus vaccinations during pregnancy. The COVID-19 pandemic greatly impacted routine vaccinations especially among medically underserved women in the South. The barriers to recommended vaccinations during pregnancy for medically underserved women in the South are unclear and require further investigation. The purpose of this study is to examine the attitudes, opinions, and beliefs of a multiracial pregnant cohort from diverse backgrounds in Central Tennessee about their experiences with the vaccines that are recommended during pregnancy. The vaccines included in the study are COVID-19, flu, and Tdap because RSV was not yet FDA-approved for pregnant women at the launch of this study. Methods: In this study, we focus on medically underserved women in Nashville, Tennessee, and the surrounding rural counties regarding vaccine acceptance and initiation of the COVID-19, influenza, and the Tdap vaccines. This study involved 208 pregnant people (100%) aged 18\u201349 years. All respondents were pregnant at the time of the study. The study consisted of a 26 question Redcap survey about participants\u2019 beliefs, attitudes, opinions, and experiences with the COVID-19, flu, and Tdap vaccines during their pregnancy. Results: The randomly selected participants in the cohort were 40.4% White, 31.7% Black, 21.6% Hispanic, and 6.3% other race\/ethnicity. The mothers in the cohort were young, with an average age of 27 years, most were married, and 52.8% had an annual household income before taxes of less than USD 35,000. Only 19.2% of the mothers in this study were very confident of the safety of the COVID-19 vaccine, compared to 32.7% for both the flu and Tdap vaccines. Overall, primary care providers were identified as the most trusted messengers for both disease and vaccine information for COVID-19, flu, and Tdap. However, only 11 participants out of 208 received all three of the ACIP recommended vaccines during their pregnancies in the study, barring the time-dependent vaccination for Tdap. The most common reasons for not receiving these vaccines involved concerns for the safety of themselves and their babies and a fear of needles. Conclusions: Education and awareness of ACIP-recommended vaccines during pregnancy needs improvement, and the support of primary care providers as the main driver of pregnancy vaccine initiation is essential.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens14121255","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,8]],"date-time":"2025-12-08T14:52:24Z","timestamp":1765205544000},"page":"1255","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Vaccinations for Expecting Mothers to Improve Pregnancy Care in Middle Tennessee"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Alphonso","family":"Harvey","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Help To Moms, 810 Dominican Way, Nashville, TN 37208-3599, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1631-5264","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mohammad","family":"Tabatabai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Office for Research and Innovation, Meharry Medical College, Nashville, TN 37208-3599, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0507-0548","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Derek","family":"Wilus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Office for Research and Innovation, Meharry Medical College, Nashville, TN 37208-3599, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sofia","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Family & Community Medicine, Meharry Medical College, Nashville, TN 37208-3599, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James E.
