Maternal perspectives on the RSV vaccine (Abrysvo): a thematic analysis of survey findings from the first season of implementation in England and Scotland

Uptake of the maternal vaccine was influenced by barriers to access, informational gaps and perceived safety concerns. Improved vaccine delivery, enhanced awareness and personalised antenatal counselling are essential to increase vaccine uptake. There is an urgent need to address structural inaccessibility and provide tailored antenatal education to address informational gaps. Ongoing qualitative research is crucial to guide targeted public health interventions ahead of future RSV seasons.

Abstract

Uptake of the maternal vaccine was influenced by barriers to access, informational gaps and perceived safety concerns. Improved vaccine delivery, enhanced awareness and personalised antenatal counselling are essential to increase vaccine uptake. There is an urgent need to address structural inaccessibility and provide tailored antenatal education to address informational gaps. Ongoing qualitative research is crucial to guide targeted public health interventions ahead of future RSV seasons.
