An exploration of women's decision-making processes around accepting or declining vaccinations in pregnancy: A qualitative descriptive study
The provision of balanced, reliable, evidence-based information made available through multiple sources, alongside open and non-judgemental conversations with healthcare professionals is essential to support women in making informed decisions. Consequently, healthcare professionals require education and training to effectively communicate vaccination information clearly, empathetically, and in a way that is tailored to individual needs.
