Association of initial COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy with subsequent vaccination among pregnant and postpartum individuals.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine the association between initial COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy and subsequent vaccination among pregnant and postpartum individuals.

Design

Prospective cohort.

Setting

A Midwestern tertiary-care academic medical center. Individuals completed a baseline vaccine hesitancy assessment from 22 March 2021 to 2 April 2021, with subsequent ascertainment of vaccination status at 3-6 months follow-up.

Methods

We used multivariable Poisson regression to estimate the relative risk of vaccination by baseline vaccine hesitancy status, and then characteristics associated with vaccination.

Main outcome measures

Self-report of COVID-19 vaccination, and secondarily, consideration of COVID-19 vaccination among those not vaccinated.
