Interviewer instructions

Neonatal tetanus is a disease that kills many babies. Another name for tetanus is lockjaw. This disease can be prevented by transfer of immunity to the baby while still in the womb from a mother who has been adequately immunized against tetanus. If a woman receives at least two tetanus injections during any pregnancy, she is considered to be adequately immunized to protect her baby against neonatal tetanus. A child also is considered to be adequately protected if the mother received at least five tetanus injections during her lifetime and the last booster was received within a ten-year period prior to the pregnancy.
