Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Retrospective cohort analyses of four separate datasets where data collection is complete.
Written, informed consent was obtained from each individual participant in each study.
1. 'FluMum' (NHMRC Project Grant no.APP1020035, HREC Reference Number: 2012-1744) . Data collection occurred from 01 April 2012- 30 June 2015.
2.'PneuMum' (HREC Reference Number: 05-52). Data collection occurred from August 2006 and January 2011. Exact dates of data collection not provided due to potentially identifiable information of Indigenous participants.
3. '1+1HS' (HREC Reference Number: 2016-2710) studies. Data collection occurred from 2004-2006 and 2009-2011. Exact dates of data collection not provided due to potentially identifiable information of Indigenous participants.
Participants were interviewed by trained research staff using a detailed structured questionnaire at birth and then at 6 months post-partum.
Exposures will be inactivated influenza, dTpa(pertussis) and 23v polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccines in pregnancy compared to unvaccinated pregnant women.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 302753 0
Congenital anomalies between infants of vaccinated and unvaccinated mothers up until 6 months post-partum as assessed by maternal self-report and medical record review. For international consistency, congenital anomalies will be identified using ICD-10 coding and will be classified according to the Brighton Collaboration working group definitions.
Timepoint [1] 302753 0
up until 6 months post-partum.
Primary outcome [2] 302768 0
low birthweight in infants of vaccinated and unvaccinated mothers as assessed by maternal self-report and medical record review. For our study, low birthweight is defined as an infant at term weighing less than 2500grams.
Timepoint [2] 302768 0
up until 6 months post-partum
Primary outcome [3] 302769 0
preterm birth in infants of vaccinated and unvaccinated mothers as assessed by maternal self-report and medical record review. For our study preterm birth will be define as less than 37 completed weeks gestation.
Timepoint [3] 302769 0
up until 6 months post-partum
Secondary outcome [1] 336906 0
PRIMARY OUTCOME=Small for gestational age (SGA) in infants of vaccinated and unvaccinated mothers assessed by calculation using validated algorithm of infant birthweights and gestations at birth (self-reported and medical record review). Our study defines SGA as birth weight below the 10th percentile of the Australian population birth weight versus gestational age greater than or equal to 20 weeks gestation, by sex.

PRIMARY OUTCOME=All cause maternal hospitalisations as assessed by maternal self-report and medical record review
Timepoint [3] 337011 0
up until 6 months post-partum
Secondary outcome [4] 337012 0
COMPOSITE SECONDARY OUTCOME= Maternal co-morbidities and risk factors for infection as assessed by maternal self-report and medical record review. For our study, a co-morbidity and risk factor for infection is anything other than a normal viable pregnancy from 20 weeks gestation until 6 months post-partum
Timepoint [4] 337012 0
up until 6 months post-partum
Secondary outcome [5] 337013 0

at birth
Secondary outcome [6] 337015 0
PRIMARY OUTCOME=Pregnancy complications as assessed by maternal self-report and medical record review. For our study a pregnancy complication is one that involves anything other than a normal viable pregnancy greater than 20 weeks gestation resulting in a live infant born at term.
Timepoint [6] 337015 0
up until 6 months post-partum
Secondary outcome [7] 337017 0
PRIMARY OUTCOME=infant morbidities as assessed by maternal self-report and medical record review. For our study, an infant morbidity will be defined as any illness requiring medical attention or review.

Timepoint [9] 337270 0
up until 6 months post-partum
Secondary outcome [10] 337274 0
PRIMARY OUTCOME=Birth complications as assessed by maternal self-report and medical record review. For our study a birth complication is one resulting in anything other than a normal vaginal birth of a live infant.
Timepoint [10] 337274 0

Statistical methods / analysis
Effect estimates from univariable and multivariable logistic regression models will be presented as adjusted odds-ratios, accounting for clustered data where applicable. Expected incidence rates (IR’s) of adverse maternal and infant perinatal outcomes will be calculated using an historic, largely unvaccinated 20-year population birth cohort (1994–2014), and compared with the observed incidence rates (IR’s) in maternally vaccinated (influenza, pertussis, pneumococcal) and unvaccinated pregnant mothers. Standardised incidence ratios (SIR) will be calculated using Poisson regression with 95% confidence intervals.
