Abstract

Aim: Tetanus vaccination of the pregnant women is one of the most effective methods in preventing maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT).

Results: 37.3 % of the obstetrics and gynecology specialists have worked for 5-9 years and 96.7% of them have been working in an institution other than their consulting rooms. MNT is seen as a priority issue by 54.7% of the physicians, and all of them think that immunisation against tetanus is insufficient in Turkey. 98.7% of the physicians recommend the tetanus vaccine for pregnant women. 57.3% of them do not administer the tetanus vaccine in their consulting rooms, and direct pregnant women to family health centers.
