Pregnant women are prioritized to receive influenza vaccination. However, the maternal influenza vaccination rate has been low in Korea. To identify potential barriers for the vaccination of pregnant women against influenza, a survey using a questionnaire on the perceptions and attitudes about maternal influenza vaccination was applied to Korean obstetricians between May and August of 2014. A total of 473 respondents participated in the survey. Most respondents (94.8%, 442/466) recognized that influenza vaccination was required for pregnant women. In addition, 92.8% (410/442) respondents knew that the incidence of adverse events following influenza vaccination is not different between pregnant and non-pregnant women. However, 26.5% (124/468) obstetricians strongly recommended influenza vaccination to pregnant women. The concern about adverse events following influenza vaccination was considered as a major barrier for the promotion of maternal influenza vaccination by healthcare providers. Providing professional information and education about maternal influenza vaccination will enhance the perception of obstetricians about influenza vaccination to pregnant women and will be helpful to improve maternal influenza vaccination coverage in Korea.
孕妇被优先考虑接种流感疫苗。然而，韩国的孕产妇流感疫苗接种率一直很低。为了确定孕妇接种流感疫苗的潜在障碍，2014年5月至8月期间，对韩国产科医生进行了一项关于孕产妇流感疫苗接种认知和态度的问卷调查。共有473名受访者参与了此次调查。大多数受访者（94.8%，442/466）认为孕妇需要接种流感疫苗。此外，92.8%（410/442）的受访者知道孕妇和非孕妇接种流感疫苗后不良事件的发生率没有差异。然而，26.5%（124/468）的产科医生强烈建议孕妇接种流感疫苗。对流感疫苗接种后不良事件的担忧被认为是医疗保健提供者推广孕产妇流感疫苗接种的主要障碍。提供有关孕产妇流感疫苗接种的专业信息和教育将增强产科医生对孕妇接种流感疫苗的认知，并有助于提高韩国的孕产妇流感疫苗接种覆盖率。
