Preparing for Group B Streptococcus vaccine. Attitudes of pregnant women in two countries

ABSTRACT Group B Streptococcus (GBS) vaccines, designed to be given to pregnant women, are in clinical trials. There is an opportunity to conduct preparatory research now to understand the drivers of and barriers to GBS vaccine acceptance. This will enable targeted interventions so that delays in vaccine uptake might be avoided. A multicenter, mixed-methodology, cross-sectional study evaluated the acceptability of a hypothetical GBS vaccine among pregnant women in two countries with differing health systems. Pregnant women in Philadelphia, US, and Dublin, Ireland, completed an electronic survey and a Discrete Choice Experiment. Five hundred and two women were included in the final analysis. Fifty-three percent of US and 30% of Irish participants reported both awareness and understanding of GBS. The median likelihood score for vaccine receipt (measured on a 10-point scale) was 9 (US: 9 (IQR 7–10), IRL: 9 (IQR 6–10)). Among the US participants, identifying as Black or African American was associated with a lower likelihood of vaccine receipt. Possession of a college degree was associated with increased likelihood of vaccine receipt. Perceived infant benefit was the most important driver of GBS vaccine acceptance. Safety concerns about a novel vaccine was the most prominent barrier identified. Good GBS vaccine uptake is achievable through strong messaging that highlights vaccine safety and the potential infant benefits. Preparation for vaccine implementation should include efforts to increase awareness among pregnant women about GBS infection and a continued focus on improving acceptability of currently recommended maternal vaccines, particularly in population subgroups with low uptake of maternal immunizations.

ДЕРЖАВНА ПОЛІТИКА ВАКЦИНАЦІЇ ВАГІТНИХ В УКРАЇНІ: ВИКЛИКИ ТА МОЖЛИВОСТІ

B a c k g r o u n d . Protection of motherhood and childhood in Ukraine is considered as a strategic national priority, which is important for ensuring the national security of Ukraine, the effectiveness of the internal policy of the state. Since pregnant women are at risk, more likely to suffer from serious ailments and have a higher risk of premature birth if they develop COVID-19, influenza or other infectious diseases, improving the state's immunoprevention strategy is urgently needed in today's environment. M e t h o d s . The purpose of the study is a comprehensive analysis of the situation regarding the vaccination of pregnant women in Ukraine with the identification of problem areas, with further substantiation of recommendations for the development of the public strategy for immunoprophylaxis of pregnant women in Ukraine. To achieve this goal the main tasks were the following: to find out the attitude of pregnant women and women in labor to vaccination, in particular, regarding the infection of COVID-19; develop international documents and national policies on the prevention of infectious diseases in pregnant women; to analyze problematic issues in the context of the formation and implementation of the current strategy of vaccination of pregnant women in Ukraine. R e s u l t s . The results of the study showed: more than half of the respondents had symptoms or were sick with COVID-19 before giving birth; only 17 percent of respondents expressed the desire to prevent a severe course of the disease through vaccination; despite the massive spread of fake information about vaccination and against the background of an active anti-vaccination movement, pregnant women still trust information from the Internet, friends or the media more than medical workers to make decisions about their health; among those who have not been vaccinated in the respondent group, almost 60 percent of women still hesitate or do not want to be vaccinated. С o n c l u s i o n s . Given that pregnant women are at increased risk of serious complications from COVID-19 and other infectious diseases, increasing data and knowledge about vaccination in this target group is important to help reduce vaccination hesitancy. The data analyzed do not support an increased risk of adverse outcomes after vaccination against COVID-19 during pregnancy, therefore vaccination should be recommended because the benefits of vaccination during pregnancy appear to outweigh any potential risks. Monitoring and analysis of the course of infectious diseases in pregnant women in Ukraine is necessary to make sure that the recommendations and management decisions made are correct. Targeted interventions should be explored to maximize the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine among pregnant women, particularly at risk. As an effective mechanism of the monitoring and analysis system for managed infections, we propose to consider the creation of an electronic register of vaccinations for pregnant women and an "immunization passport".

The Perceptions of Pregnant Mothers on Exclusive Breastfeeding: Motivation to Perform Early Breastfeeding Initiation (EBI) at Hayati Clinic Medan

Introduction: Pregnancy is a natural and physiological process that brings happiness to mothers with the arrival of their newborn. When a baby is born, it is placed on its mother's chest, where it will have physical contact with its mother and instinctively search for its mother's nipple to breastfeed. This is where the process of early breastfeeding initiation (EBI) occurs. Breast milk is a natural food for babies, and the World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding for six months. Despite a 49% decrease in under-five mortality rates worldwide, child mortality remains a significant issue, with almost half of all child deaths occurring in the last two decades. The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between pregnant women's attitudes towards exclusive breastfeeding and their motivation to perform EBI. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional analytical survey design, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 44 pregnant mothers at Hayati Clinic. The sampling technique used was saturation sampling, and the data were analyzed using chi-square statistical tests with α 0.05. Results: Based on the research results, the relationship between pregnant mothers' perceptions of exclusive breastfeeding and their motivation to perform EBI was significant, with p (0.000) < α (0.05), indicating that mothers with less favorable perceptions were less motivated to perform EBI. Conclusion: From the study's findings, it is recommended that pregnant mothers increase their knowledge and seek more information about exclusive breastfeeding and motivation to achieve successful early breastfeeding initiation (EBI).
