Brief summary

Retrospective descriptive analysis of the safety of maternal vaccination utilising 4 datasets: ‘FluMum’, ‘PneuMum’, ‘1+1HS’ and a population based de-identified NT birth cohort. Combined datasets ~85,000 mother-infant pairs, of which ~30% identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander. There is no active participant recruitment, no blood tests or specimen collections and no direct contact with any participants. Results will be presented as large aggregate data with no potential for identifying information. Results will contribute novel information on adverse maternal and infant perinatal outcomes over a 21 year period (1994-2015) .We will calculate ‘Observed-to-Expected’ ratios to describe the risk of an adverse outcome occurring following maternal vaccination in pregnancy with influenza, pertussis or pneumococcal vaccines.

Interventions

Retrospective cohort analyses of four separate datasets where data collection is complete. Written, informed consent was obtained from each individual participant in each study. 1. 'FluMum' (NHMRC Project Grant no.APP1020035, HREC Reference Number: 2012-1744) . Data collection occurred from 01 April 2012- 30 June 2015. 2.'PneuMum' (HREC Reference Number: 05-52). Data collection occurred from August 2006 and January 2011. Exact dates of data collection not provided due to potentially identifiabl

Data collection occurred from August 2006 and January 2011. Exact dates of data collection not provided due to potentially identifiable information of Indigenous participants. 3. '1+1HS' (HREC Reference Number: 2016-2710) studies. Data collection occurred from 2004-2006 and 2009-2011. Exact dates of data collection not provided due to potentially identifiable information of Indigenous participants. Participants were interviewed by trained research staff using a detailed structured questionnaire at birth and then at 6 months post-partum. Exposures will be inactivated influenza, dTpa(pertussis) and 23v polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccines in pregnancy compared to unvaccinated pregnant women.
