Description
Vaccination in pregnancy protects both mother and baby, but access across Europe remains unequal. Researchers mapped maternal vaccination policies across all 53 countries in the WHO European Region and reviewed 163 studies and policy sources on flu, whooping cough, COVID-19 and RSV.
Uptake was higher where vaccines were free, offered as part of routine antenatal care, and recommended and delivered by trained healthcare professionals with clear responsibility.
