New push to protect newborns: study tests strategies to boost vital pregnancy vaccine

This study tested different ways to encourage more pregnant people to get the RSV vaccine, which protects newborns from severe respiratory infections. Researchers tried a step-by-step approach with 50 participants, starting with simple methods like counseling and visual aids, and then using more direct reminders like phone calls for those still unvaccinated later in pregnancy. The goal was to find the most effective combination of strategies to increase vaccination rates.
