Description
Definition
VACDPT4MO reports the month that children received their fourth DPT vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose fourth DPT vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.
The complementary variables VACDPT4DAY and VACDPT4YR report the day of the month and the year of the fourth DPT 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 fourth DPT vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACDPT4.
