This indicator reflects the percentage of women who received
two or more doses of tetanus toxoid vaccinations during their pregnancies for the most recent live births occurring within a three-year timeframe prior to the survey. This measure not only highlights the effectiveness of maternal healthcare services in preventing neonatal tetanus but also serves as an important marker of maternal immunization practices. A higher percentage signifies better access to healthcare services, awareness of the importance of vaccination, and adherence to recommended prenatal care protocols, ultimately contributing to improved maternal and infant health outcomes. Insights obtained from this data can guide public health initiatives aimed at enhancing vaccination coverage and addressing gaps in maternal healthcare services.
