Overview

Cohort study reveals suboptimal influenza vaccination coverage among privately insured pregnant women, highlighting persistent timing gaps after October.

Key Points

To assess national trends, timing patterns, and maternal characteristics associated with influenza vaccination coverage among privately insured pregnant women.
Analyzed 2010–2018 MarketScan healthcare claims for 1,286,749 privately insured pregnant women aged 15–49 years in the United States.
Assessed vaccination timing across trimesters and delivery months, estimating predictors of uptake via multivariate log-binomial and Cox proportional hazards regression models.
In-plan influenza vaccination coverage prior to delivery increased from 22.0% during the 2010–2011 season to 33.2% during the 2017–2018 season.
Approximately two-thirds of vaccinated women received the vaccine in September or October, with vaccination rates plateauing sharply after October for women delivering between September and May.
Higher vaccination uptake was significantly associated with maternal age 31–40 years, metropolitan residence, living outside the South, high-deductible health plan enrollment, and delivery between November and January.
