Pregnant women’s attitudes and intentions toward tuberculosis, malaria, group B streptococcus, and respiratory syncytial virus vaccines in pregnant
There are numerous infections that can adversely impact a developing fetus, neonates, and pregnant women, and there is limited research related to how specific infections experienced during pregnancy can affect these populations. Tuberculosis (TB), malaria, Group B streptococcus (GBS) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) can cause negative outcomes to maternal and neonatal health. For TB and GBS, there are vaccines in various stages of clinical …
Qualitative exploration of factors associated with Covid-19 vaccination among pregnant women in Kenya
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted societies worldwide, and COVID-19 vaccination has been identified as instrumental in the fight against the pandemic. While studies have examined uptake of COVID-19 vaccination, more research is needed to gain a better understanding of the factors influencing pregnant women’s decisions to get vaccinated. In this study, we used a cross-sectional descriptive qualitative study to explore the attitudes, be…
Contextualizing future maternal RSV vaccination acceptance and trust among pregnant and lactating women in Kenya
Maternal vaccination, or vaccination in pregnancy, offers a critical opportunity to provide protection to pregnant women and simultaneously confer passive immunity to infants in the first months of life, when infections are particularly serious and their immune systems are still developing. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is one such serious infectious disease for newborns, but a newly approved and recommended vaccine for respiratory syncytial …
Trust in healthcare providers, information sources, and concerns for new maternal vaccines among pregnant and lactating women in Kenya
New maternal vaccines have the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality for infants from common illnesses that pose the greatest risk in the earliest phase of their life. Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of acute lower respiratory infections among infants under six months of age. With the recent approval of a maternal vaccine for RSV, this study aimed to understand decision-making factors among pregnant and lactating women …
Properties and performance of a questionnaire assessing Covid-19 vaccine knowledge and attitudes in Brazilian pregnant women
The 20-item instrument demonstrated strong reliability and internal consistency, making it a valuable tool for assessing COVID-19 vaccine attitudes among pregnant women in Brazil. Its concise format may enable easier administration without compromising accuracy. Further validation could enhance its role in informing vaccination strategies and improving maternal and neonatal outcomes
Understanding Kenyan policymakers’ perspectives about the introduction of new maternal vaccines
New vaccine policy adoption is a complex process, especially in low-and-middle-income countries, requiring country policymakers to navigate challenges such as competing priorities, human and financial resource constraints, and limited logistical capacity. Since the beginning of the Expanded Programme on Immunization, most new vaccine introductions under this structure have not been aimed at adult populations. The majority of adult vaccines offere…
Covid-19 vaccine preferences for pregnant and lactating women in Bangladesh and Kenya
COVID-19 was responsible for more than 7 million deaths globally, as well as numerous morbidities and social and economic effects. While COVID-19 vaccines were seen as a marvel of science by the scientific community, much of the public had concerns related to COVID-19 vaccines, with certain groups—such as pregnant and lactating women—having specific concerns related to vaccine effects on their pregnancy and breast milk. In this qualitative study,…
Maternal Immunization Decision-Making Among Pregnant and Lactating People in Kenya
Understanding who influences vaccine-decision making during pregnancy will help inform demand generation strategies, and in turn, uptake of future maternal vaccines, including RSV vaccines. Given the strong role HCPs and peers have in the decision-making process, targeting key potential influences is essential to improve vaccine acceptance
A qualitative inquiry in understanding trusted media sources to reduce vaccine hesitancy among Kenyans
COVID-19 vaccine rollout in Kenya has been challenged by both the supply of and demand for vaccines. With a third of the adult population classifying as vaccine hesitant, reaching vaccination targets requires an understanding of how people make decisions regarding vaccines. Globally, pregnant and lactating women have especially low uptake rates, which could be attributed to the “infodemic,” or constant rush of new information, as this group is vu…
Conceptualizing the Covid-19 Pandemic
Pregnant women are at greater risk of adverse outcomes from SARS-CoV-2 infection. There are several factors which can influence the ways in which pregnant women perceive COVID-19 disease and behaviorally respond to the pandemic. This study seeks to understand how three key audiences-pregnant and lactating women (PLW), male community members, and health workers-in Kenya conceptualize COVID-19 to better understand determinants of COVID-19 related b…
