Introduction: The World Health Organisation recommended that pregnant women receive the COVID-19 vaccine, as it is effective, especially during pregnancy, and is associated with positive maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, pregnant women are hesitant to take the vaccine due to fear of the vaccine’s possible side effects. Aim and objectives: This study aimed to explore and describe the views of pregnant women on accepting the COVID-19 vaccination in the Thembisile Hani Sub-district of the Mpumalanga Province. Research design: The study followed a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive design. Method: The convenience sampling method was utilised to identify 14 participants among pregnant women attending antenatal care at the six Community Health Care Centres at Thembisile Hani Sub-district. Semi-structured individual face-to-face interviews were conducted to collect data until saturation was reached. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using thematic data analysis. Results: The following four themes were identified: Misconceptions, positive perceptions, loss of trust in the health system, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Significance of the study: The findings will contribute to a body of knowledge on vaccine uptake and inform strategies to enhance the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine in pregnant women. Conclusion: Pregnant women in Thembisile Hani were hesitant to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. Addressing vaccine hesitancy among pregnant women necessitates providing accurate information, support, and guidance to empower them to make informed choices.
