ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 vaccine has been recommended for pregnant people (hapu mama) in Aotearoa New Zealand since June 2021. We surveyed people birthing in a tertiary hospital regarding their vaccination status and reasons for this. There were 74% (142/191) of pregnant people who were fully vaccinated. Motivators for vaccination included protection against Covid-19 and antibody transfer to the baby (pepe). Unvaccinated participants worried about vaccine safety. Concerns were raised about the change in official advice without well-communicated reasons for the change. Future vaccine and booster rollouts must be delivered equitably and hapu mama must be a priority group.Copyright © 2022 The Authors.
