Summary: Most pregnant women are worried about COVID-19 illness, but less than 50% are willing to get vaccinated during pregnancy. Non-Hispanic Black and Hispanic women have lower odds of accepting a vaccine, highlighting the need to prioritize strategies to address perceived barriers among groups at high risk for COVID-19.

Summary: Population-level data on COVID-19 vaccine uptake in pregnancy and SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes are lacking. However, this study reveals low levels of vaccination uptake by pregnant women compared to women in the general population and that not being vaccinated is associated with increased risk of severe complications of COVID-19 in pregnancy, including perinatal mortality.

COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy: coverage and safety

Helena Blakeway et al.

Summary: This study investigates the uptake and safety of COVID-19 vaccination among pregnant women. The results show that the proportion of vaccinated pregnant women is low, and those who received the vaccine experienced similar pregnancy outcomes compared to unvaccinated pregnant women. There is lower uptake among younger women, non-White ethnicity, and lower socioeconomic background. This study contributes to the evidence on the safety of COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy and emphasizes the importance of improving awareness among pregnant women and healthcare professionals on vaccine safety.

Summary: The study examined factors promoting vaccine hesitancy or acceptance during pandemics, including demographic factors, accessibility and cost, personal responsibility, risk perception, trust in health authorities and vaccines, safety and efficacy of a new vaccine, and lack of information or vaccine misinformation. Understanding participant perspectives from previous pandemics informs strategies for addressing the current COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of vaccine hesitancy on the introduction and effectiveness of a potential COVID-19 vaccine is discussed, recommending further research on the relationship between accessibility and cost of vaccines and vaccine hesitancy.

Summary: Understanding factors associated with vaccine acceptance among pregnant women is crucial for improving vaccine uptake. A survey conducted in Central Pennsylvania, United States found that women who received an influenza vaccine within the past year, were employed full-time, or reported feeling overloaded were more willing to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Vaccination education for pregnant women, especially those who have not received an influenza vaccine recently, is necessary.

Ethnic/racial minorities' and migrants' access to COVID-19 vaccines: A systematic review of barriers and facilitators

Mohammed Abba-Aji et al.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review on the access to and acceptance of COVID-19 vaccines among ethnic minorities and migrants. The results showed that there were disparities and barriers in vaccine access and acceptance among these groups. Ethnic minorities, particularly Black/Afro-Caribbean groups, exhibited higher levels of vaccine hesitancy due to mistrust and safety concerns. Migrants faced issues such as language barriers, fear of deportation, and reduced physical access. Building trust, reducing barriers, and improving communication and transparency can help improve vaccine access and uptake among these communities.

The Nature and Extent of COVID-19 Vaccination Hesitancy in Healthcare Workers

Nirbachita Biswas et al.

Summary: COVID-19 vaccines have been approved for public use globally, but studies show healthcare workers globally exhibit vaccine hesitancy due to concerns about safety, efficacy, and side effects. Males, older individuals, and those with doctoral degrees (i.e., physicians) are more likely to accept vaccines, and factors like perceived risk, patient care involvement, and influenza vaccination history increase vaccine uptake likelihood. Strategies to improve communication, education, and mandates for clinical workers are crucial to address the high prevalence of vaccine hesitancy in healthcare workers. Healthcare workers play a key role in pandemic mitigation, serving as role models for preventive behaviors and facilitating vaccination efforts.
