These weekly RSV vaccination coverage estimates for pregnant persons 18 to 49 years are based on electronic health record (EHR) data from the Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD), a collaboration between CDC's Immunization Safety Office and multiple integrated health care organizations.*
Pregnant Persons RSV Vaccination Coverage
- The denominator includes those who reached at least 32 weeks gestation since September 22, 2023. Denominator may also include pregnant persons who were past the recommended window of 32-36 weeks gestation prior to September 22, 2023. Pregnant persons are not removed from the numerator or denominator when the pregnancy ends.
- The numerator includes those who have received an RSV vaccine as of the week ending date.
- Implementation timelines and availability of RSV vaccine differed across participating VSD sites; therefore, early coverage estimates may include persons in the denominator who were not able to receive vaccination starting September 22, 2023, when the vaccine was first recommended. By November 25, 2023, all VSD sites were offering RSV vaccination to pregnant persons.
