Assessing Interventions to Increase Tdap Acceptance for Non-birthing Partners in Pregnancy (NCT06135636)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The goal of this randomized control trial is to assess if prenatal vaccine education and in-office vaccination administration for non-birthing partners of pregnant patients increases Tdap vaccination rates compared to usual care. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * To assess whether compared to standard prenatal care, targeted prenatal education regarding Tdap vaccination recommendations with and without in office vaccination opportunities improves Tdap uptake among non-birthing partners of pregnant patients. * To assess whether non-birthing partners presenting for Tdap vaccination are willing to accept dual vaccination with Tdap and influenza. Participants will receive direct verbal and written education at the time of enrollment on cocooning and recommendation for partner Tdap vaccination prior to delivery with or without the option to receive Tdap at their convenience at the WIH obstetric care clinic. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare "Upfront Education" and "Upfront Education and Vaccination Administration" to "Usual care" to see if education and/or the offer for vaccination in the office increases Tdap vaccine acceptance for non-birthing partners.
