Maternal Vaccination Act

This bill changes an existing federal vaccine awareness campaign under the Public Health Service Act to include pregnant and postpartum individuals among the groups with low vaccination rates that the campaign targets. It adds obstetric health care providers to the providers the campaign works with, alongside prenatal and pediatric providers. It sets funding for the campaign at $17,000,000 per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. It also adds raising vaccination rates of pregnant and postpartum individuals, including those from racial and ethnic minority groups, and their children, to the activities a federal immunization grant program may support.
