Immunization surveillance, assessment and monitoring

Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) elimination


Programmatic update continued

Through the implementation of SIAs from 1999 to 2010, about 113 million childbearing age women (CBAW) have been protected against tetanus

Between 1999 and 2010, the TT SIAs that were implemented targeted in total 137 million women of child bearing age with three doses of TT. Of these, about 80% actually received two or more doses of TT, which is sufficient to protect them and their offspring against tetanus during several years
