Determinants of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among pregnant persons.

Background: Vaccines reduce the risk of contracting and developing complications from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Pregnant people are at increased risk of disease-related complications but have a higher prevalence of vaccine hesitancy (VH) than their nonpregnant counterparts.

Objective: This study aimed to describe risk factors and COVID-19- and vaccine-related perspectives that lead to VH among pregnant people in Mexico to target strategies to increase vaccine acceptance in this population.
