Vaccine Coverage and Hesitancy SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 Research COVID-19 Impact on Reproduction

Abstract

Background: Pregnant women are at increased risk of severe disease with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Despite strong recommendations from American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and Society for Maternal Fetal Medicine for vaccination, COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy persists. With this study, we aim to evaluate opinions about the COVID-19 vaccine in a cohort of high-risk pregnant patients. Materials and Methods: Institutional review board approval was obtained. Patients attending a regional Maternal–Fetal Medicine clinic in central New York were surveyed about the COVID-19 vaccine using a standardized questionnaire. Demographic, obstetrical, and medical information was abstracted using medical records. The vaccinated and unvaccinated groups were evaluated using chi-square tests and a Bayesian model. Results: Among the 157 participants, 38.2% are vaccinated. There were no significant differences in race/ethnicity, living situation, marital status, employment status, insurance type, pregravid body mass index, history of recreational drug use, number of living children, or gestational age at the time of survey. Patients with less formal education are less likely to be vaccinated. There was no difference between influenza and tetanus diphtheria pertussis vaccination rates with COVID-19 vaccination rates. Unvaccinated patients cite lack of data in pregnancy (66%) as their primary concern. Most patients prefer to learn about vaccines via conversation with their doctor (46.7% for vaccinated and 59.8% for unvaccinated). Conclusions: The vaccination rate is low in our population. A provider-initiated conversation about COVID-19 vaccination included with routine prenatal care could increase the vaccination rate.
