Abstract: The survey on the hesitant status of rubella-containing vaccine (RCV) vaccination was conducted among 2 141 women of childbearing age in four provinces, Liaoning, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, from May 2017 to March 2018. Among the 2 141 study participants, a total of 38.21% (818) of women of childbearing age were aware of rubella and 21.25% (455) of women of childbearing age knew about RCV. Among the 455 women of childbearing age who were aware of RCV, 262 (57.58%) were willing to be vaccinated with RCV; 304 women of childbearing age (66.81%) tended to be vaccinated with RCV free of charge. Among the 193 women of childbearing age who did not want to be vaccinated or did not decide whether they preferred to be vaccinated with RCV, no one around them was vaccinated (89, 46.11%) and fear of vaccine safety (70, 36.27%) were the main reasons for hesitation to receive RCV.
