Determinants of tetanus immunization among pregnant women where tetanus has not been eliminated: a multilevel analysis of 6 countries
Marital status, wealth index, age at first birth, decision about women's health care, parity, sex of household head, ANC, postnatal checkup, distance to health facility, and health insurance were significant predictors of adequate TT vaccination. Therefore, TT immunization can be improved by promoting maternal employment, improving post-abortion care, media coverage, community literacy, and health accessibility, and encouraging pregnant women to receive ANC and postnatal care.
