The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) anticipates the need for a firm-fixed-price award To track the uptake of influenza, Tdap, and potentially other recommended vaccines during each influenza season and 2) influenza and vaccine-related KABBs among pregnant women in the United States. Tracking is to be at the end of the influenza vaccination season. Uptake of all vaccines should be assessed through March 2023 for the 2022-23 season). Influenza vaccination coverage in the United States is generally assessed by repeat surveys of representative samples of the U.S. population. In the past, such surveys have estimated overall population coverage and coverage among certain demographic subgroups on a regular basis. However, estimates for small groups of the U.S. population targeted for vaccination, including pregnant women, are not generally available during the vaccination season because the scarcity of these individuals in the total U.S. population makes such surveys costly and time-consuming. During the 2009-10 influenza pandemic, it became apparent that new approaches to coverage assessment were needed to provide reliable and timely estimates of vaccination coverage, knowledge, attitudes, barriers and behaviors among this subgroup during the influenza season.
