VACPNEUM2DAY_ET reports the day of the month that children received their second pneumococcal vaccination according to the Ethiopian calendar. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose second pneumococcal vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.VACPNEUM2DAY_ET is only available for the Ethiopian samples.
The complementary variables VACPNEUM2MO_ET and VACPNEUM2YR_ET report the month and the year of the second pneumococcal vaccination, as recorded on a vaccination card shown to the interviewer.
According to the DHS Recode Manuals, the vaccination date may be coded as "Inconsistent" if the reported date is inconsistent with the date of birth, the date of interview, or the dates of other vaccinations.
To identify all young children who received the second pneumococcal vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACPNEUM2 (H55).
