Influenza could spread alongside COVID-19. The study aim to evaluate and contrast the levels of acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination with the seasonal influenza vaccine among Saudi Arabian expectant mothers. This observational qualitative cross-sectional study was conducted among pregnant women in Saudi Arabia in July 2022. Probability simple random sampling techniques were employed to select the population. Data was collected through an online distributed Google form questionnaire based on the Health Beliefs Model. The data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). A total of 1,790 respondents were included in this study. Most of our participants were between 25-29 years (32.1%), and 28.7% were aged between 30-34 years. Most participants did not have any chronic illness (88.9%). Diabetes was the most commonly reported chronic disease among respondents. 45.1% disagreed that the seasonal influenza vaccine made the pregnant lady more likely to have a severe illness, and 43.1% disagreed with the same principle when receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. In addition, more than half of the participants disagreed with the statement that Seasonal influenza vaccination is unsafe, and 54% disagreed with the statement that COVID-19 vaccination is unsafe (P value =0.024). Results concluded that the level of acceptance to receive the COVID-19 vaccine (96.1%) was significantly higher than the level of acceptance to receive the influenza vaccine among pregnant women in Saudi Arabia.

流感是全世界发病率和死亡率的主要原因,孕妇患严重并发症的风险高于一般人群。流感可能与COVID-19一起传播。该研究旨在评估和对比沙特阿拉伯孕妇对COVID-19疫苗接种和季节性流感疫苗的接受程度。这项观察性定性横断面研究于2022年7月在沙特阿拉伯的孕妇中进行。总体选择采用概率简单随机抽样技术。数据通过基于健康信念模型的在线分发谷歌表格问卷收集。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS)对数据进行分析。共有1790名受访者参与了这项研究。大多数参与者年龄在25-29岁之间(32.1%),28.7%的参与者年龄在30-34岁之间。大多数参与者没有任何慢性疾病(88.9%)。糖尿病是受访者中最常报告的慢性病。45.1%的人不同意季节性流感疫苗会使孕妇更容易患上严重疾病,43.1%的人不同意接种COVID-19疫苗的相同原则。此外,超过一半的参与者不同意季节性流感疫苗接种不安全的说法,54%的参与者不同意COVID-19疫苗接种不安全的说法(P值=0.024)。结果表明,沙特阿拉伯孕妇COVID-19疫苗接受率(96.1%)显著高于流感疫苗接受率。版权所有©2022国际药物研究与相关科学杂志(IJPRAS)。开放获取-本文基于CC BY许可(https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)
