Following is a response from DHS Research & Data Analysis Director, Tom Pullum:

As you probably know, this item refers to the mother receiving a tetanus injection before the birth. It's given as a characteristic of the child or the birth but it's part of the antenatal care. It is only asked about births in the past five years so you can work with the KR file. It's in the BR file too but is not applicable (NA) for children age 5+ in the BR file. In this survey it is asked only about the most recent birth, and whether or not that child is still alive at the time of the survey.

The variable is m1. I will paste the unweighted frequency distribution in the KR file and the label below. The "NA" cases, with a dot, are births in the past five years other than the most recent birth. They are not "missing" cases. I would construct a binary recode as follows:

gen tetanus_injection=.
replace tetanus_injection=1 if m1<=7
replace tetanus_injection=0 if m1==0
label define noyes 0 "No" 1 "Yes"
label values tetanus_injection noyes

. label list m1
m1:
           0 received no inject.
           7 7+
           8 don't know
