Résumé

Pregnant people are at higher risk of morbidity from COVID-19 infection, yet vaccine hesitancy remains prevalent. Our mixed-methods study utilized surveys and interviews to understand decision making regarding COVID-19 vaccination surrounding pregnancy. The most trusted source of information was health care providers. Five themes relating to vaccination barriers and facilitators were identified: 1) COVID-19 vaccine-related policies; 2) pregnancy specific considerations; 3) barriers, facilitators, and influencers to vaccination; 4) vaccination decision based on personal health considerations; 5) attitudes towards COVID-19 and other vaccines. Our study underscores the importance of receiving high-quality information from a trusted source to increase vaccination.
