As nurse or midwife we need to be sure that all pregnant women who are coming in for prenatal check-up should be injected with TT (tetanus toxoid)injection.
Every pregnant women living in an area where there is neonatal tetanus should be vaccinated against tetanus at the first antenatal visit or every pregnancy. If she has not previously had the full course of tetanus protection, she should be vaccinated again 1-2 months later, then again 6 months after that.
