摘要:What is already known about this topic? Vaccination with influenza and tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccines during pregnancy can decrease the risk for influenza and pertussis-associated complications among women and infants, yet vaccination rates remain low. Before 2019, Florida’s Medicaid-covered pregnancy-related services did not include these vaccines; one hospital system covered these vaccines in the immediate postpartum period. What is added by this report? Among pregnant women who delivered at a Florida health system during 2016–2018, fewer Medicaid-insured than privately insured women received Tdap and influenza vaccines during pregnancy; many women chose to receive vaccination immediately postpartum when provided for free. What are the implications for public health practice? Medicaid benefits for Tdap and influenza vaccination during pregnancy might increase vaccination coverage.
