Abstract
⺠We assessed the uptake of influenza vaccination in pregnant women and maternity care providers. ⺠We assessed factors that influence vaccination in these groups. ⺠We found influenza vaccination rates to be low in these populations. ⺠Pregnant women were more likely to receive vaccine if their maternity care provider was vaccinated. ⺠Increased education of both pregnant women and maternity care providers is required.
