All models control for covariates listed in Table 4 & estimated with district and time (month) random effects

* p < 0.1, ** p < 0.05, *** p < 0.01

aAlternative policy impact date suggested by the breakpoint function utilised

bPolicy implementation assumed to be 9 months prior to delivery date

cMarginal effects could not be estimated

dIncludes doctor, midwife and MCH aide

eSlightly lower but still significant result recorded where mother reported vaccinations also included

fDeliveries excluded from November 2012 to allow for 1 year vaccination period
