The Maternal Vaccination Act seeks to bolster public health efforts by focusing on maternal vaccination awareness and equity . It amends the Public Health Service Act to expand existing vaccination campaigns, specifically including pregnant and postpartum individuals in their target audience and information dissemination efforts. The bill also directs activities to increase vaccination rates among these individuals, with a particular emphasis on racial and ethnic minority groups and their children. Furthermore, the legislation updates the types of healthcare providers involved in these efforts to include obstetric providers, alongside prenatal and pediatric ones. To support these expanded initiatives, the bill increases the authorized funding for the vaccination awareness campaign from $15,000,000 to $17,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
