dc.descriptionAotearoa/New Zealand (NZ) follows a government-funded national midwifery continuity of care model for maternity care during pregnancy (Ministry of Health, 2021; New Zealand College of Midwives, 2019). It is recommended by health authorities in NZ that women are immunised against influenza, pertussis and COVID-19 during pregnancy (World Health Organization, 2005; Ministry of Health, 2020; UK Health Security Agency, 2021). Maternal vaccinations are administered with no cost to the vaccinee across the country in various locations, including general practices, community pharmacies (although pertussis has only been funded in this setting since late 2022 nationwide), and hospitals. Despite there being no fee to be vaccinated, in NZ, less than half of all pregnant women are vaccinated (Howe et al., 2020), which leaves many women and their infants at risk of these diseases (Ministry of Health, 2020).
