Definition
VACPNEUM2MO (H55M) reports the month that children received their second pneumococcal vaccination. 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.
The complementary variables VACPNEUM2DAY (H55D) and VACPNEUM2YR (H55Y) report the day of 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).
