Pandemic H1N1 influenza virus was the cause of worldwide respiratory infection in 2009. The majority of these infections were self-limiting, however, high-risk groups, including pregnant women were at increased risk of mortality and morbidity from swine flu. Because of these risks, the World Health Organization recommended that pregnant women should receive the swine flu vaccine during pregnancy. The swine flu vaccine, like the seasonal flu vaccine, is safe to use in pregnancy. In view of the obvious benefits and safety of the pandemic flu vaccine, we decided to undertake a survey to assess the awareness and uptake of the vaccine among pregnant women in our local community. In our survey, lack of counselling from healthcare providers and fears of risks from the vaccine are the main reasons for refusal. For these reasons, healthcare professionals are provided with up-to-date information about the vaccine and are asked to provide this information to pregnant women at all stages of pregnancy in order to increase their awareness and acceptance of the vaccine.
2009年，甲型H1N1流感大流行病毒引发了全球范围的呼吸道感染。这些感染大多是自限性的，然而，包括孕妇在内的高危人群感染猪流感后死亡和发病风险增加。鉴于这些风险，世界卫生组织建议孕妇在孕期接种猪流感疫苗。与季节性流感疫苗一样，猪流感疫苗在孕期使用是安全的。鉴于甲型H1N1流感大流行疫苗具有明显的益处和安全性，我们决定开展一项调查，以评估当地社区孕妇对该疫苗的知晓率和接种情况。在我们的调查中，缺乏医护人员的咨询以及对疫苗风险的担忧是拒绝接种的主要原因。基于这些原因，为医护人员提供了有关该疫苗的最新信息，并要求他们在孕期各个阶段向孕妇提供这些信息，以提高她们对疫苗的知晓率和接受度。
