    • Description:
      Pertussis and influenza infections can result in severe disease in infants. The diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis (DTaP) vaccine is recommended for infants beginning at age 2 months, and influenza vaccine is recommended for infants aged ≥6 months. Vaccination of pregnant women induces the production of antibodies that are transferred across the placenta to the fetus and provide passive protection until infants are old enough to receive DTaP and influenza vaccines (1-3). To protect young infants before they are age-eligible for vaccination, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) has recommended since 2004 that all women who are or will be pregnant during influenza season receive inactivated influenza vaccine (1), and since 2013 that all pregnant women receive the tetanus, diphtheria, acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine (3). Tdap and influenza vaccination coverage was assessed among pregnant women in Minnesota. Vital records data containing maternal demographic characteristics, prenatal care data, and delivery payment methods were matched with vaccination data from the Minnesota Immunization Information Connection (MIIC) to assess vaccination coverage. MIIC stores vaccination records for Minnesota residents. Overall, coverage with Tdap vaccine was 58.2% and with influenza vaccine was 45.9%. Coverage was higher for each vaccine among women who received adequate prenatal care compared with those who received inadequate or intermediate care, based on the initiation of prenatal care and the number of recommended prenatal visits attended. Coverage also varied based on mother's race, country of birth or region, and other demographic characteristics. Further study is needed to better understand the maternal vaccination disparities found in this study and to inform future public health initiatives.
