We hope that our research spurs public health communication to improve knowledge of these new immunizations in pregnant individuals
We also point to the need to demonstrate to pregnant women that these shots are safe, effective, and important to increase uptake

Our analysis shows that intention to immunize was higher among pregnant individuals who were previously aware of RSV immunization options and who viewed RSV immunizations as safe, effective and important
Reasons for hesitancy included concerns about side effects and the immunizations being too new
