Interviewer instructions

this question requested the interviewer to record the type of vaccine injected or
drunk. If a child received all 8 types of vaccines, record code 9 to column “First”, leaving other65
columns blank. If they didn’t receive all 8 types, record what they remember which is not
necessary all shots. Record continuously, do not leave any column blank in between. For
example, if a child was injected with a tetanus vaccine and drank polio vaccine, record code 2 to
column “first”, and code 4 to column “second”. Record each vaccine once though the child may
have received the vaccine two times or more. If the mother has a health check record book or
immunization book, take the papers to check which vaccines have been given. It should be noted
if the respondent says that her children have been fully immunized with all kinds of vaccine since
two vaccines “Japanese encephalitis " and “Hepatitis B” have only been started since 1997 and
people have to pay for them. If the children received all 6 types of vaccines as in the past, do not
record code 9 but record each type injected. If they received all 6 types and the two vaccines
“Japanese encephalitis” and "Hepatitis B", record code 9
