Influenza and Pertussis are vaccine preventable diseases carrying significant morbidity and mortality in pregnant women and infants. The uptake of these vaccinations in pregnancy is suboptimal. Our study aimed to identify factors influencing our pregnant patient's knowledge, beliefs and perceptions. A self-administered, specifically devised, 34-point questionnaire was taken by antenatal patients in a primary care setting from November 2015 to March 2016. A majority believe both diseases are serious during pregnancy or infancy but many are unsure on vaccination safety. A majority of respondents at 80/88 (91%) consider their GP's advice reliable on this matter. Our key message is that health care provider recommendation is the most powerful tool to improve vaccination uptake. Our research clearly identifies GP's as the most trusted source of information, making it crucial to deliver accurate information to this high-risk group.
流感和百日咳是可通过接种疫苗预防的疾病，会给孕妇和婴儿带来严重的发病率和死亡率。孕期这些疫苗的接种率并不理想。我们的研究旨在确定影响我们的孕妇患者的知识、信念和认知的因素。2015年11月至2016年3月期间，在初级保健机构中，产前患者填写了一份自行填写的、专门设计的34项问卷。大多数人认为这两种疾病在孕期或婴儿期都很严重，但许多人不确定疫苗接种的安全性。80/88（91%）的大多数受访者认为他们的全科医生在这个问题上的建议是可靠的。我们的关键信息是，医疗保健提供者的建议是提高疫苗接种率的最有力工具。我们的研究清楚地表明全科医生是最值得信赖的信息来源，因此向这一高危群体提供准确信息至关重要。
