Description

Definition
VACPENTA1DAY (H51D) reports the day of the month that children received their first pentavalent vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose first pentavalent vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.

The complementary variables VACPENTA1MO (H51M) and VACPENTA1YR (H51Y) report the month and the year of the first pentavalent 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 first pentavalent vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACPENTA1 (H51).
