Acceptability of a Hypothetical Zika Vaccine among Women from
Colombia and Spain Exposed to ZIKV: A Qualitative Study.

# metadata.dc.description.abstract[].value
Zika virus (ZIKV) can cause pregnancy loss and congenital
Zika syndrome, among other poor health outcomes. The ZIKV
epidemic in 2015-2017 disproportionately affected pregnant women
                in poor-resource settings. We aimed to understand perceptions
                and attitudes towards a hypothetical ZIKV vaccine, women's
                willingness to be vaccinated, and potential barriers and
                facilitators for vaccine acceptance in 1) migrant women living
                in Spain who travelled to their countries of origin and were
                diagnosed with ZIKV infection during pregnancy, and their
                healthcare providers, and 2) women living in Colombia who
                delivered a child with microcephaly. An exploratory qualitative
                study based on phenomenology and grounded theory was conducted.
                Data were collected through in-depth, paired and semi-structured
                interviews. Overall, women from both sites were willing to
                receive a hypothetical ZIKV vaccine. However, some expressed
                concerns of being vaccinated during pregnancy, yet they would
                accept it if the vaccine was recommended by a healthcare
                professional they trust. Main fears towards vaccination were
                related to vaccine safety and potential adverse effects on
                child's health. Women reported feeling hesitant to participate
                in a ZIKV vaccine trial. These results may contribute to guiding
                the effective delivery of future ZIKV vaccines among populations
                most at risk and particularly vulnerable.
