Vaccination is one of the most reliable interventions against coronavirus disease (COVID-19). This study aimed to determine the acceptance rates and associated factors of accepting attitudes toward COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy among Bangsamoro pregnant women and their spouses. The 30 selected Bangsamoro couples of Brgy. Tambo, Dagurungan, and Macabiso, Sultan Mastura, Maguindanao del Norte were required to answer the modified questionnaire from Pairat and Phaloprakarn (2022). It was recorded that most of the pregnant women and their spouses rated Partially Agree, which has the same overall mean of 2.6 which indicated that they have a good rating of accepting attitude in COVID-19 vaccination. Overall, with a high percentage of Iranun tribe among ethnic groups, with secondary education, employed yet low-income earner, healthy, and with relatives vaccinated, the couple- participants were not worried about the COVID-19 vaccine and infection but confident with the vaccine safety and efficacy. Based on the findings, the study concluded that the COVID-19 vaccine was accepted only by Bangsamoro pregnant women yet the majority of the couples were not worried about the vaccine and infection and they were confident with its safety and efficacy. But the majority of the husbands were not favored with the vaccination of their pregnant wives. The factors associated with disagreement of husbands in COVID-19 vaccination were ethnicity, low education and income, and rate of vaccinated relatives.
