2633. Influenza and Tdap Vaccination Coverage among Pregnant Women in the PREVAIL Cohort

BACKGROUND: The ACIP recommends influenza and Tdap vaccination during pregnancy to reduce the risk of influenza and pertussis in the mother and her infant. We assessed influenza and Tdap vaccination coverage and associated factors among pregnant women enrolled in PREVAIL, a prospective birth cohort study in Cincinnati, OH. We assessed sensitivity and specificity of self report for both vaccines against state registry, maternal healthcare provider, and work-place records. METHODS: We enrolled and interviewed 265 pregnant women regarding self-reported receipt of influenza and Tdap vaccines, and obtained vaccine records from registry, electronic medical record, provider, employer, or pharmacy. We grouped subjects by documented vaccination status and analyzed demographic variables and vaccine attitudes regarding efficacy, safety, and hesitancy using unadjusted Fisher exact tests. We analyzed sensitivity and specificity of maternal recall. RESULTS: We identified documentation of influenza and Tdap vaccine receipt during pregnancy in 172/265 (64.9%) and 238/265 (89.8%) of women, respectively (Figure 1); by self report, 177/265 (66.8%) reported receiving influenza and 221/265 (83.4%) Tdap vaccine. The two most common primary reasons cited for receiving influenza vaccine were “to protect my baby” (36.7%) and “to protect myself” (26%; Figure 2). Pregnant women were more likely to get Tdap vaccine if a healthcare worker recommended it (OR 5.4). Subjects were more likely to get influenza vaccine if they believed it was effective in preventing influenza in themselves (OR 9.0) or their babies (OR 8.1). While positive recall had a high concordance (95.2% and 93.4% for influenza and Tdap, respectively), 12.5% and 32.1% of mothers incorrectly recalled not receiving an influenza or Tdap vaccine, respectively, that was documented as received in the records (Figure 3). CONCLUSION: We found high concordance between maternal recall and verification for both influenza and Tdap vaccines. In this single-site cohort of 265 women, self report was a reliable measure of vaccination status among pregnant women. Provider communication to pregnant women regarding effectiveness of influenza and Tdap vaccinations for themselves and their infants may lead to higher maternal vaccination rates.
