Dear Bridgette, thank you very much for your response.

Dear Expert, is this comparable with the "protected against neonatal tetanus" calculated and mentioned in the later EDHS reports: EDHS 2005,2011 & 2016? My aim was to assess the trend of PAB againist neonatal tetanus from 2000-2016 in Ethiopia.

As you probably know and according to the latest guide to DHS statistics (2020),
PAB means percentage of women with a live birth in the 5 years preceding the survey whose most recent live birth was protected against neonatal tetanus.
A birth is protected against neonatal tetanus if the mother has received any of the following:
1. Two tetanus toxoid injections during that pregnancy
2. Two or more injections, the last one within 3 years of the birth
3. Three or more injections, the last one within 5 years of the birth
4. Four or more injections, the last one within 10 years of the birth
5. Five or more injections at any time prior to the birth Sample: Last live births in the 5 years before the survey to women age 15-49
Thank you very much
Melese.
