How this figure is calculated
The year-on-year percentage change in Number of confirmed cases of tetanus. Computed from consecutive annual observations; years either side of a gap are skipped rather than bridged.
Computed from
- Number of confirmed cases of tetanus World Health Organization – Global Health Observatory (2026) – with minor processing by Our World in Data
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
