A prospective analysis of 18 infants with neonatal tetanus treated over a 14-month period showed that the disease could have been prevented in at least 15 cases. These mothers had received antenatal care on a sufficient number of occasions for two tetanus toxoid immunisations to have been given to effect protective passive immunity in the babies.
