A<unk>  shot is administered to a child and her mother The spores which cause<unk>  are present everywhere, so the only prevention is immunization. Three properly spaced doses of<unk>  toxoid vaccine are recommended for women of childbearing age, either before or during pregnancy; this will protect their future babies from<unk>  after delivery. Public health campaigns In 1989, the World Health Congress called for the elimination of<unk> . UNICEF took the lead, assisted by other United Nations agencies, individual governments, and non-profit organisations. By 2000, the disease was declared as eliminated from 104 of 161 developing countries. "Elimination" is defined as less than 1 case per 1,000 live births in every district of the country. Since<unk>  can also strike postpartum mothers, the campaign has been expanded to target both maternal and<unk> . In many affected countries, there was a lack of awareness of maternal and<unk>  and how to prevent it. Education and immunisation campaigns have been launched in the remaining countries at risk and are targeted particularly at pregnant women. Education focuses on hygienic birth practices and infant cord care as well as the need for immunisation. In Egypt, the number of cases of<unk>  dropped from 4,000 to fewer than 500 annually as the result of an immunisation campaign. In Morocco,<unk>  accounted for 20% of neonatal deaths in 1987 but only 2% in 1992. In 1998 in Uganda, 3,433<unk>  cases were recorded in newborn babies; of these, 2,403 died. After a major public health effort, Uganda in 2011 was certified as having eliminated<unk> . In 2011, Pampers joined with UNICEF to target maternal and<unk>  in Yemen. In 2010, Kiwanis International pledged to raise $110 million to eliminate maternal and<unk>  throughout the world in partnership with UNICEF. On 15May 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared India free from maternal and<unk> . India has reduced its infant mortality rate (IMR) from 380 per 1000 live births in 1990, to 40 in 2015, and its maternal mortality rate (MMR) from 540 per 100,000 to 167 in the same years. The national health programme was started in 1983 by the Government of India, when all pregnant women were given two doses of<unk>  vaccine. The number of deaths from<unk>  dropped from 79,000 in 1990, to less than 500 in 2013 and 2014.
