The article discusses the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) analysis of data from the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS) to estimate the state-specific seasonal and pH1N1 influenza vaccination coverage among pregnant women. The study showed that women who were likely to be vaccinated are those who were offered or told to have influenza vaccination by their health-care providers. An overview of influenza vaccination coverage in various states is given.
