Background & objectives: As the coronavirus disease has not yet been contained, and vaccination is known to be the most effective and safest way to fight against it, and considering the insignificant risks of vaccination on pregnancy and the fetus, this study aims to investigate the acceptance and attitude of pregnant women towards the COVID-19 vaccine.
Methods: The present study is a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study conducted on pregnant women visiting health centers in Astara City. The data collection tool is a researcher-made questionnaire distributed among 225 pregnant women after ensuring reliability and validity. The samples were pregnant women who visited Astara Health Center during their pregnancy. Data analysis was performed using SPSS25 software with descriptive tests.
Results: There was a significant relationship between attitude towards the coronavirus vaccine and acceptance of the vaccine (p<0.02). The most important reason for women's reluctance to receive the coronavirus vaccine is the fear of harming the fetus.
Conclusion: Given the low attitude of women towards the COVID-19 vaccine, it is recommended to implement appropriate educational and informational programs to increase the awareness and attitude of pregnant women towards the COVID-19 vaccine.
