Experience of maternal immunization among women living with HIV in Belgium: A mixed-methods study
The benefits for the mother and the newborn were associated with favorable opinion on maternal immunization while doubt about safety or lack of information appeared to be hurdles to acceptance. Proactive communication on the benefit of maternal immunization for both the mother and newborn by HIV physician and HCP involved in prenatal care is needed to increase acceptability of maternal immunization among WLWH.
