This study aimed to assess the attitudes and willingness of pregnant women to receive the influenza vaccine and the factors influencing their decisions. A sample survey was conducted among pregnant women receiving prenatal care at various medical institutions in Minhang District, Shanghai, from March to June 2023. The survey included inquiries about demographic information, knowledge, and perception of influenza disease and influenza vaccine. Logistic regression models and chi-square tests were used to analyze the data. 6.9% (78/1125) of participants considered receiving the influenza vaccine during pregnancy. Participants with graduate education or above (OR = 4.632, 95%CI: 1.046–20.517), non-office workers (OR = 2.784, 95%CI: 1.560–4.970), and participants whose spouses were not office workers (OR = 0.518, 95% CI: 0.294–0.913) were significantly associated with high intent to vaccinate. Participants with superior knowledge (>30 points) exhibited greater willingness (p < .001). Participants who viewed post-influenza symptoms as mild had a significantly lower willingness to vaccinate during pregnancy (2.3%), compared to those who disagreed (p = .015). Conversely, those recognizing a heightened risk of hospitalization due to respiratory diseases in pregnant women post-influenza were significantly more inclined to vaccinate during pregnancy (8.8%) (p = .007). Participants recognizing benefits uniformly expressed willingness to receive the influenza vaccine during pregnancy (p <...
