ABSTRACT
Vaccination is a widely discussed topic during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Due to newly emerging covid-19 variants, vaccination has become more and more important. These new variants pose a risk for the development of maternal and neonatal complications. The aim of this study was to conduct a survey among pregnant women to assess the awareness of covid-19 and vaccination. Among the respondents, 58% were vaccinated with at least one dose and 51% were fully vaccinated. Also, 77% percent of responders thought that there was an increased risk of severe covid-19 infection among pregnant women versus non-pregnant women, while 71% were aware of the risk of fetal death associated with covid-19 infection. Although the rate of awareness among pregnant women is quite high (up to 87%), it is crucial to present the advantages of vaccination among gynecologists and doctors of other specialties as they are able to motivate women to be vaccinated.
