Description

Definition
VACYELLOWFEVDAY reports the day of the month that children received their yellow fever vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose yellow fever vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.

The complementary variables VACYELLOWFEVMO and VACYELLOWFEVYR report the month and the year of the yellow fever 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 yellow fever vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACYELLOWFEV.
