Vaccine Confidence During Pregnancy and the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Wide Variety of Views Across the European Union

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the view on vaccination in a significant proportion of participants, indicating that vaccine implementation in a next pandemic should be tackled differently.
