VACPNEUM3DAY_ET reports the day of the month that children received their third 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 third pneumococcal vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.VACPNEUM3DAY_ET is only available for the Ethiopian samples.
The complementary variables VACPNEUM3MO_ET and VACPNEUM3YR_ET report the month and the year of the third 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 third pneumococcal vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACPNEUM3 (H56).
