COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake, Sources of Information and Side Effects Reported by Pregnant Women in Western Australia: Cross-Sectional Cohort Survey
The COVID-19 vaccine uptake among pregnant women was encouragingly high in our study, with favorable attitudes and acceptance for the vaccine observed in the majority of pregnant women. This self-reported study also identified opportunities for enhanced cultural competence and further education and training for hospital staff regarding COVID-19 vaccine information provision to ethnically diverse women. Further studies examining such interventions are warranted.
