Abstract
Objective: To analyze the factors that influenced the decision of pregnant women linked to Primary Health Care, to vaccinate against Covid-19. Method: A mixed study is part of an umbrella project, whose selection was carried out with 42 pregnant women, who answered the questionnaire and participated in a semi-structured interview. The data underwent simple statistical analysis and thematic analysis. Results: Significant factors associated with vaccine acceptance: Guidance/stimulation for vaccination performed by the nurse, support of family members, fear of being contaminated or dying from Covid-19 and possibility of protecting the fetus. Factors linked to hesitation: fear of adverse effects from vaccination, fear of needle and fake news on digital media. Conclusion: Vaccination hesitation can directly impact collective immunization, making it difficult to expand the vaccine coverage needed to protect the population. The permanent need for professional strategies and public policies contributes to increasing confidence in vaccination against Covid-19 in the country.
