Promotion and COVID-19 lockdown increase uptake of funded maternal pertussis vaccination in pharmacy: A mixed methods study
Promotion appeared to have a sustained effect on uptake of maternal pertussis vaccination in pharmacies. Pregnant people were most influenced by discussions with healthcare professionals. Pharmacists and pharmacy staff increased proactivity with maternal vaccinations after promotion to them. Promotion may need to be repeated over time.
