This policy brief highlights the need for improved data on infection and vaccination in pregnant women, suggesting changes in governance and supports.
<ns3:p>In this policy brief, we explain why pandemic preparedness must include significantly improving the availability of data on infection and vaccination in pregnant women in the Republic of Ireland (ROI). We base this on an in-depth analysis of data availability during the COVID-19 pandemic in ROI. These improvements include 1) the need to optimise research governance processes, 2) better linkage between different data sources, 3) improving documentation of data sources, 4) timely release of data, 5) prioritisation of pregnancy data collection, and 6) increased supports and funding.</ns3:p>
