Zusammenfassung:Highlights • This is the first review to identify and evaluate interventions aimed at increasing maternal influenza vaccine uptake. • There is little high-quality evidence from randomized controlled trials to guide public health recommendations on improving maternal influenza vaccination rates. • Based on the existing evidence, clinicians should provide influenza education pamphlets to pregnant women accompanied by a verbalized statement on the benefits of maternal vaccination to newborns. • High-quality RCTs are needed to further evaluate interventions to successfully improve maternal influenza vaccination rates.
