Children born to mothers who received health care services during pregnancy and/or delivery have higher vaccination rates than children whose mothers received less or no care.

Key Evidence: The likelihood of a child 12-23 months of age in Myanmar having completed their vaccinations was more than 3 times greater if his or her mother had received tetanus vaccination during pregnancy, and almost 2 times greater if she made at least 4 antenatal care visits than mothers who hadn’t, after other factors, such as parents’ educational level, household income, residence (rural vs. urban) and mother’s age, were controlled for.
