Maternal Health: Boosting Vaccination Rates for New and Expecting Mothers

Maternal Vaccinations Act

Legislative Progress

Senate

House

President

Law

This bill aims to protect the health of pregnant women and new mothers by making sure they have the information they need to get vaccinated. It focuses on teaching families why vaccines are important for both the mother and the baby.
The plan would provide $17 million each year between 2027 and 2031 for public health campaigns. This is a $2 million increase over previous funding levels to help the government reach more people with health information.
A major goal of the bill is to reach people in racial and ethnic minority groups. It directs health agencies to focus on communities that often have less access to medical care to ensure everyone has the same chance to stay healthy.
The bill also changes how the government works with doctors. It ensures that specialists who handle pregnancy and childbirth are included in national efforts to promote vaccines, making it easier for women to get information during their regular checkups.
