Data on Pregnant Women

Influenza vaccination coverage among pregnant women between 2019 and 2021 was estimated at 21.1% (95% confidence interval: [17.9–24.8]). It was 21.4% [16.4–27.4] for those with a child under 1 year of age, 30.6% [23.8–38.4] for those with a child aged 1 year and who were predominantly pregnant after the emergence of SARS-CoV-2, and 12.4% [8.4–17.8] for those with a child aged 2 years and who were predominantly pregnant before the pandemic.
