AIMS: Our study aimed to investigate associated factors with TT2 + coverage (at least two doses of tetanus-toxoid vaccine) in pregnant women in the Health Zone Zogbodomey- Bohicon-Zakpota, Benin in 2013. MATÉRIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study was conducted in june-July 2013 on mothers of children aged 0-11 months. The sampling method of immunization coverage cluster of WHO has been adapted. Logistic regression was used to identify factors associated to with TT2 +. RESULTS: Our study included 210 mothers of children aged 0-11 months. TT2 + coverage of the women surveyed were 61.7% [95% CI 61.4 to 62.0]. The final model, factors associated with TT2 + coverage were: the number of antenatal care, the use of a private health center, knowledge of the immunization schedule, the use of radio and television, marital status, occupation, waiting time, residence, fear of undesirable reactions, the permanence of immunization services, education level, distance, family support and explanation of the immunization schedule the woman. Conclusion: Measures to improve TT2 + coverage should put more emphasis on these identified factors to hope to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus.
