- Abstract
I Sir, i We would like to comment on the recent publication by Germann et al., on the association of initial coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine hesitancy with subsequent vaccination among pregnant and postpartum individuals.1 We read with interest that COVID-19 vaccination hesitation persisted throughout the peripartum period, and only a few people who were hesitant at baseline were later immunised. Hence, Xiao et al.4 emphasised the need for tracking COVID-19 vaccine reluctance and associated factors over time and altering promotional strategies accordingly to improve vaccination uptake. According to a previous study in Hong Kong4 over more than 1 year of follow up, transient changes in variables related with COVID-19 vaccine reluctance were described: no statistically significant link between chronic medical illnesses and vaccine reluctance before and during the mass immunisation programme's deployment were seen in this study.
