Brief Summary
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is the leading cause of chest infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in young children, and is a major cause of admission to hospital and childhood death worldwide. One possible way to protect the mother and young infant from RSV infection is a vaccine given to women during pregnancy (maternal vaccination), which would pass protection to their unborn child. This may help to prevent RSV in the child's first few months of life when they are most vulnerable to infection. There are two main aims to this study:
- 1.To pre-emptively gauge the knowledge of RSV and potential acceptability of such vaccines amongst pregnant women and healthcare staff working in midwifery and obstetrics, as well as their attitudes (facilitators and barriers) to being involved in hypothetical future research trials.
- 2.We also wish to gauge the attitudes to routinely recommended vaccines in pregnancy (pertussis and influenza)

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Answers to questionnaires
The answers to the questionnaires will be analysed using statistical software to assess their knowledge of RSV, and identify factors that might affect their understanding of RSV and attitudes to being involved in hypothetical future trials and receiving the RSV vaccination.
Until data collection complete (December 2017)
Study Arms (3)
Pregnant women
* Over the age of 16 * Under the care of staff working in: University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust, St Georges Healthcare NHS Trust, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust or University Hospitals Bristol NHS Foundation Trust * Able to read and write in English and give fully informed consent

Interventions
The participants will be approached by a member of the study team and, following recruitment, participants will be asked to fill in a short paper or online questionnaire. Our estimated time for completion is 5-10 minutes, and this time will be stated at the start of the questionnaire. Having completed the questionnaire they will be free to leave without further follow up, and given the contact details of the investigators/research governance office whom they can contact if they have further questions or concerns.
