a. PAB=Protection at birth.  PAB is usually defined as receiving 2 tetanus toxoid containing vaccine (TTCV) doses during the last birth, ≥2 TTCV doses with the last dose ≤3 years prior to the last birth, ≥3 doses with the last dose ≤5 years prior, ≥4 doses with the last dose ≤10 years prior, or ≥5 prior doses.  WHO-UNICEF annual estimates of PAB were calculated on the basis of mathematical modeling WHO-UNICEF estimates of PAB coverage. Last updated July 15, 2016.  Available from  http://apps.who.int/immunization_monitoring/globalsummary/timeseries/tswucoveragepab.html Accessed December 18, 2016.

b. TT2+ = Proportion of women who have received their second or subsequent dose of TTCV during pregnancy.  Reported estimates of TT2+ coverage.  Last updated November 18, 2016. Available from http://apps.who.int/immunization_monitoring/globalsummary/timeseries/tscoveragett2plus.html Accessed December 18, 2016.

c. Average calculated as [sum of (coverage x births)] / sum of births. Denominator of births available from United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2015).
