Achieving safe influenza vaccination coverage among pregnant and breastfeeding women is a global health goal due to the potential risks of serious for both mother child. However, vaccine hesitancy remains significant barrier uptake. Since anxiety represents determinant in decision-making, this study aimed assess levels population explore association between women's characteristics, their reluctance, levels. A multicentre, cross-sectional was conducted February June 2022 using structured phone interviews assess: (1) socio-demographics clinical history; (2) anti-flu status, previous vaccination, Sars-CoV-2 infection (3) insights into during pregnancy; (4) attitudes toward Vaccination Attitudes Examination (VAX) Scale; (5) levels, measured by Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Among 387 participants, 22.8% were already vaccinated or expressed willingness be against influenza, 54% had an disorder. While not significantly associated with hesitancy, ongoing pregnancy emerged as independent predictor anxiety. Higher educational pregnancy, being get vaccinated, employed reduced while prior SARS-CoV-2 increased hesitancy. Fear unpredictable events lack healthcare professionals' recommendations reasons reluctance. Given low rates, these findings highlight need services enhance efforts provide clear counter misinformation ensure accurate safety information.

Introduction Vaccination during pregnancy protects both the mother and foetus from vaccine-preventable diseases. However, uptake of recommended vaccines (influenza, pertussis, COVID-19) by pregnant women remains low in Europe USA. Understanding reasons for this is crucial to inform strategies increase vaccination rates women. This qualitative systematic review aimed identify barriers facilitators against influenza, pertussis/whooping cough COVID-19 possible rates. Methods We conducted a comprehensive search electronic databases, including Medline, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web Science, WHO database, Embase grey literature studies that explored vaccine among (PROSPERO CRD42023399488). The was limited published between 2012 2022 high-income countries with established programmes pregnancy. Studies were thematically analysed underwent quality assessment using Joanna Briggs Institute validated critical appraisal tool research. Results Out 2681 articles screened, 28 (n = 1573 participants) eligible inclusion. Five overarching themes emerged relating personal, provider systemic factors. Barriers included concerns about safety efficacy, lack knowledge vaccines’ benefits necessity, fear adverse effects on or perception disease severity. Facilitators recommendations trusted healthcare providers, easy access vaccination, clear communication positive social influences family friends. Strategies increasing strong proactive professionals, provision routine antenatal care, consistent addressing women’s concerns. Conclusion highlights need interventions address identified Recommendation can play significant role promoting uptake, as risk/benefit convenient vaccination. Addressing providing accurate information also important.

The attitudes of reproductive-age individuals toward COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy are still not well understood. We aimed to explore the vaccines and determinants among Chinese population. An anonymous cross-sectional study was conducted in China from July 4 August 11, 2023. Structured questionnaires on vaccine hesitancy pregnancy, socio-demographic characteristics, behavior health-related factors, mental health status were sent online (both males females). Among 2966 participants reproductive age, 86.9% exhibited significant receiving pregnancy. Participants older age (30–34: aOR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.62–2.52; 35–39: 1.72, 1.11–2.66), nonsmokers (aOR 1.42, 1.07–1.89), with a longer duration since their last 2.37, 1.20–4.70), exhibiting marked pandemic fatigue (moderate: 1.98, 1.56–2.52; high: 3.49, 2.41–5.05) prone refuse presence generalized anxiety disorder may push 0.75, 0.57–0.99). top three reasons for hesitation concerns about adverse effects pregnant women (77.72%), fetuses (72.13%), newborns/infants (58.77%), respectively.

Newborns are born with an immature immune system, making them susceptible to infections early in life. Human milk provides essential nutrients and immunological factors that support infant immunity. Maternal vaccination during lactation has the potential enhance these benefits by triggering response mother, potentially extending protection her child. However, lactating individuals often excluded from vaccine trials, leading uncertainties about safety efficacy postpartum period. This study critically evaluates effectiveness of vaccines enhancing immune-supporting properties human assesses their for mothers infants. By examining alongside concerns, we aim provide a comprehensive understanding vaccination's impact on maternal health. We utilized large-language models (LLMs) review process performed structured literature search across Ovid/Medline, Embase, Clarivate Analytics using terms like "breastfeeding", "postpartum", "vaccination". A three-stage screening involving LLM-assisted evaluation focused implications identified 73 studies covering against COVID-19, cholera, influenza, pertussis, pneumococcal, rabies, polio, rotavirus, rubella, varicella, typhoid, smallpox, yellow fever. Most vaccines, such as those COVID-19 appear safe effective use without requiring precautionary measures. caution is advised fever vaccine, where temporary breastfeeding cessation recommended.
