Adapting Center for Disease Control and Prevention's immunization quality improvement program to improve maternal vaccination uptake in obstetrics.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Maternal vaccination is critical for improving maternal and child health. Quality Improvement (QI) models¹, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) Assessment, Feedback, Incentives, eXchange (AFIX)² model, have not yet been adapted to maternal vaccinations.
