Vaccine hesitancy has been recognized by the World Health Organization as one of ten threats to public health globally in 2019. Pregnant women constitute an extremely important group for the study of knowledge and attitudes towards pediatric vaccinations. This is a cross-sectional survey conducted in two maternity hospitals in Athens. A standardized questionnaire was used. A total of 814 pregnant women with a mean age of 33.1 years and a mean gestational age of 24.4 weeks were studied. Overall, 717 (89%) of 804 pregnant women reported that they intend to vaccinate their baby in accordance with the National Vaccination Program, 7 (1%) that they do not, while 80 (10%) reported that they have not decided yet. The women provided a mean of 11.4 correct replies out of 14 questions about vaccine-preventable diseases and vaccines (mean knowledge score: 81.5%). A pediatrician has been recognized as the source for information about vaccines in most cases (611/809, 75.5%), while in 215 (26.6%) the internet was also used. Overall, pregnant women trusted physicians about information for vaccines (“very much trusted” in 55.9% and “quite trusted” in 40% of cases). Lastly, 642 (81%) women agreed with the statement “vaccinations should be mandatory for school entry” while 70 (9%) women agreed with the statement “parents should have the right to refuse their children vaccinations”. A multivariate analysis found that a gestational age of ≤20 weeks (OR = 2.33, CIs: 1.27–4.28, p-value = 0.006), having another child (OR = 4.44, CIs: 2.30–8.58, p-value < 0.001), a history of influenza vaccination (OR = 2.54, CIs = 1.37–4.71, p-value = 0.003), and a higher knowledge score about vaccine-preventable diseases and vaccines (OR = 1.33, CIs: 1.23–1.45, p-value < 0.001) were significantly associated with an increased probability to get their child vaccinated in accordance with the National Vaccination Program.

疫苗犹豫已被世界卫生组织确认为2019年全球十大公共卫生威胁之一。孕妇是研究小儿疫苗知识和态度的极其重要的群体。这是在雅典的两家妇产医院进行的横断面调查。使用标准化问卷。共研究了814名平均年龄为33.1岁，平均胎龄为24.4周的孕妇。总体而言，在804名孕妇中，有717名（89％）表示他们打算按照国家疫苗接种计划为婴儿接种疫苗；有7名（1％）表示他们没有这样做，而有80名（10％）表示尚未决定。 。在关于疫苗可预防疾病和疫苗的14个问题中，女性平均提供了11.4个正确回答（平均知识得分：81。5％）。在大多数情况下，儿科医生被公认为疫苗信息的来源（611 / 809，75.5％），而在215个网站（26.6％）中，互联网也被使用。总体而言，孕妇对医生的疫苗信息信任（在55.9％的情况下为“非常信任”，在40％的情况下为“非常信任”）。最后，有642名（81％）妇女同意“接种疫苗必须入学”的说法，而70名（9％）妇女同意“父母应有权拒绝子女接种疫苗”的说法。多元分析发现，胎龄≤20周（OR = 2.33，CI：1.24-4.28，p值= 0.006），有另一个孩子（OR = 4.44，CI：2.30-1.58，p值<0.001） ，有流感疫苗接种史（OR = 2.54，CI = 1.37–4.71，p值= 0.003），
