  • Thematic analysis revealed key barriers to vaccination, including vaccine skepticism and a perception of returning to normalcy.
  • Facilitators of vaccine acceptance included concerns about the effects of covid-19 infection and trust in the vaccine's efficacy.
  • Public health interventions must address misinformation and build trust to enhance vaccine uptake among pregnant women.
