Abstract
Pregnant people are at higher risk of morbidity from COVID-19 infection, yet vaccine hesitancy remains prevalent. Our mixed-methods study utilised surveys and interviews to understand decision-making regarding COVID-19 vaccination surrounding pregnancy. The most trusted source of information was health care providers. Five themes relating to vaccination barriers and facilitators were identified: (1) COVID-19 vaccine-related policies; (2) pregnancy-specific considerations; (3) barriers, facilitators, and influencers to vaccination; (4) vaccination decisions based on personal health considerations; (5) attitudes toward COVID-19 and other vaccines. Our study underscores the importance of receiving high-quality information from a trusted source to increase vaccination.
