Purpose: The MOMVAX toolkit was designed to improve knowledge and education about antenatal influenza and Tdap vaccination. It can also become a trusted resource for up to date information on such topics. Tool Description: The Emory MOMVAX toolkit is a multi-level intervention package designed to promote influenza and Tdap (tetanus diphtheria pertussis) vaccination to pregnant women. The toolkit is made up of the MOMVAX P3 Study Package as well as the MOMVAX webpage. The P3 package includes consists of the following (URL links can be found under Additional MOMVAX Toolkit Materials): 1. Identification of a practice-based vaccine champion staff member 2. Promotional posters 3. Educational brochures 4. Lapel buttons 5. Peer-to-peer vaccine education 6. Provider-to-patient talking points 7. Maps to retail outlets where patients could receive the vaccine(s) 8. Educational iBook app The toolkit is underscored by the MOMVAX webpage http://momvax.org/ which provides up-to-date information about antenatal vaccination. In addition, it also serves as an online repository for tools and resources produced by antenatal vaccination researchers at Emory University. Who should use it?: This toolkit is designed to be used by expectant mothers/families, obstetric care providers, other public health researchers conducting similar research to increase antenatal vaccine coverage. Benefits: Through the expansion of educational resources to promote vaccination, it is anticipated that vaccination rates among all pregnant women will increase. In addition, by building an audience base prior to a public health emergency, the MOMVAX website can be a useful tool in terms of pushing relevant information out to pregnant women and their clinicians during an emergency.
