Maternal Vaccinations Act

This bill amends the Public Health Service Act to create a focused maternal vaccination awareness campaign targeting pregnant and postpartum individuals, with specific attention to racial and ethnic minority groups. It updates existing provisions to include these groups in vaccination rate discussions, expands campaign language to cover obstetric care, and increases annual funding from $15 million to $17 million for fiscal years 2024-2028. The key mechanism requires health agencies to implement outreach efforts aimed at improving vaccination rates for mothers and their children during pregnancy, postpartum, and pediatric care. The policy directly affects pregnant and postpartum individuals, particularly in underserved communities, by mandating targeted public health initiatives.
