Journal Title: Indian Journal of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Tetanus is a deadly vaccine preventable disease with high case fatality rate with worst cases seen in pregnant mothers and newborn. The most rapid reductions have been made in neonatal tetanus worldwide and also reported from our country. In February 2012, 25 countries including 15 states of India and union territories have been validated as having achieved MNT (maternal and neonatal tetanus) elimination in which Haryana is one of the states (ACIP, 2013). But Mewat is one of the districts in Haryana where the immunisation coverage is poor as compared to rest of Haryana due to multiple factors. The vaccination coverage ofDPTandBCGis16%and53%only respectively.
