Determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among pregnant persons.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Vaccines reduce the risk of contracting and developing complications from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pregnant people are at increased risk of disease-related complications but have a higher prevalence of vaccine hesitancy (VH) than their nonpregnant counterparts.

Objective

This study aimed to describe risk factors and COVID-19- and vaccine-related perspectives that lead to VH among pregnant people in Mexico to target strategies to increase vaccine acceptance in this population.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey-based study to evaluate risk factors and COVID-19- and vaccine-related perspectives associated with VH among pregnant people was conducted. Respondents were pregnant people of all ages attending a regular follow-up visit or admitted to labor
