Survey on pregnancy and influenza A: would you get vaccinated against influenza A?

One of the things we know for sure about influenza A is that pregnant women constitute a risk group. That is, their own state of pregnancy increases the risks of complications, although they do not infect their babies. Therefore, if you are pregnant we would like to know whether or not you would be vaccinated against the influenza A virus.

While it was initially said that pregnant women would have priority to get vaccinated, then the authorities announced that children and pregnant women will be the last to receive immunization until it is proven that the vaccine is safe for both. Of course, this creates uncertainty about the convenience of getting vaccinated and the effects it could have on themselves and their babies.

We would like to know first hand your opinion about pregnancy and vaccination against the H1N1 virus by asking the following question: Would you get a flu shot??.

  • Yes: If you consider getting vaccinated against the H1N1 virus as soon as the application of the vaccine is allowed in pregnant women.

  • Do not : If you have definitely decided not to apply the vaccine for whatever reason.

  • I do not know: If you think you do not have the necessary information to make the decision to get vaccinated or not.

  • Not yet: If you think you'll wait to see how the disease evolves and make sure the vaccine is harmless to pregnant women.
