The Tetanus Toxoid Vaccine is an important part of prenatal care because it protects both the mother and newborn from tetanus, a serious and potentially life-threatening infection. During pregnancy, the vaccine helps the mother develop antibodies that are passed to the baby, offering protection after birth.
Skipping the TT injection can increase the risk of maternal and neonatal tetanus, especially in unsafe delivery conditions. The vaccine is considered safe during pregnancy and is recommended as part of routine antenatal care. Timely vaccination helps ensure safer childbirth and better protection for both mother and child.
