Abstract
Abstract Following our study of attitudes, barriers, and intentions concerning the influenza vaccination among pregnant women in South Korea, we discovered that women displaying a more positive attitude toward the influenza vaccination were more likely to receive it during their pregnancy. We also found that the attitude toward vaccination was more positive among vaccinated pregnant women than among those who were unvaccinated. Furthermore, women showed a greater intention to get vaccinated if a clinician, rather than friends, recommended so. The major perceived barriers to getting influenza vaccination were being pregnant, fear of harming the baby, feeling healthy, and thinking it unnecessary.
