  • Would extend the campaign’s beneficiary group to include the children of pregnant and postpartum individuals, linking maternal outreach to pediatric vaccination efforts.
  • Would add “obstetric” to the campaign’s outreach language so messaging and activities also target obstetric care settings and clinicians.
