Description

Definition

VACROTA2YR (H58Y) reports the year that children received their second rotavirus vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose second rotavirus vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.

The complementary variables VACROTA2DAY (H58D) and VACROTA2MO (H58M) report the day of the month and the month of the second rotavirus 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 rotavirus vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACROTA2 (H58).
