As grávidas constituem um grupo de risco para qualquer infecção devido à baixa imunidade que apresentam. Estudo descritivo com abordagem qualitativa, ancorada na Teoria das Representações Sociais que objetivou compreender os motivos que levaram as gestantes a não se vacinarem contra a Influenza A (H1N1). Participaram do estudo 10 mulheres que estavam grávidas no período da campanha de vacinação de 2010. Os dados foram coletados em maio de 2011 mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas e discutidas pela análise de conteúdo. A partir dos discursos foi possível identificar as várias representações que a vacina H1N1 tinha para essas mulheres no período de sua gestação, como elemento que causaria aborto e má formação do feto. Os motivos que levaram as gestantes a não se vacinarem contra a gripe H1N1 estão associados ao medo, à falta de informação e aos mitos e crenças que a população traz nas suas representações e nos seus valores culturais.

Abstract:
Pregnant women constitute a risk group for any infection due to low immunity. Descriptive study with a qualitative approach, grounded in the Theory of Social Representations that aimed to understand the reasons why pregnant women did not vaccinate against influenza A (H1N1). The study included 10 women who were pregnant during the vaccination campaign of 2010. Data were collected in May 2011 through the interviews and discussed by the content analysis. From the speeches it was possible to identify the various representations that the vaccine against H1N1 had for these women during their pregnancy as an element which would cause miscarriage and birth defects. The reasons why pregnant women did not vaccinate against H1N1 are associated with fear, lack of information and the myths and beliefs that people bring in their representations and their cultural values
