Description
Stanikzai, Tawfiq, Ezadi, Jafari, and Dadras measure tetanus shot coverage among married women in Afghanistan who recently gave birth. The data come from a national survey in 2022 and 2023, covering 12,450 women aged 15 to 49. Their 2026 study asks which traits track with getting enough doses.
Only about half the women, 49.9 percent, had adequate coverage. Odds were higher for women with schooling, for those with more prenatal visits, and for those with media access. Wealth above the lowest tier also helped. Odds were lower for women aged 40 to 49 and for those in the east and west regions. The authors call for stronger outreach to older and poorer women.
