Area of Science:

Public Health
Epidemiology
Maternal Health

Background:

Influenza and pertussis vaccines are recommended during pregnancy, but uptake is insufficient in Europe.
Recent scientific endorsements support maternal respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccination.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate maternal vaccination coverage, knowledge, attitudes, and influencing factors among Lithuanian women.
To identify predictors of vaccine uptake and reasons for vaccine hesitancy.

Main Methods:

A retrospective cross-sectional online survey of 241 Lithuanian women aged 18-55 with prior pregnancies.
Data collected on sociodemographics, obstetric history, vaccination history, attitudes, and information sources.
Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, Chi-square tests, and logistic regression.

Main Results:

Vaccination coverage: 28.7% for influenza, 43.8% for tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis, and 4.2% for RSV.
Physician recommendation was the strongest predictor for influenza (OR 17.0) and pertussis (OR 16.5) uptake.
Lower uptake associated with older maternal age and lower education; reasons for refusal included safety concerns.

Conclusions:

Maternal vaccination coverage in Lithuania remains low despite public funding and recommendations.
Strengthening provider communication and integrating vaccination counseling into antenatal care are crucial for increasing uptake.
Enhanced strategies are needed to improve maternal and neonatal protection through vaccination.
