description The Covid‐19 vaccine has been recommended for pregnant people (hapū māmā) 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 (pēpē). 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 hapū māmā must be a priority group.
