Abstract
Although the World Health Organization recommends 2 tetanus vaccine-containing injections in pregnancy, in Uganda, only 59.2% of pregnant women received a 2nd dose in 2022. We set out to (1) create awareness of maternal vaccine-preventable diseases, maternal immunization benefits and vaccination safety through the use of media; (2) determine the effectiveness of maternal immunization campaigns and (3) assess stakeholder's acceptability of project interventions' delivery methods.
