Description

Definition
VACDPTPEN1DAY_AF reports the day of the month that children received their first DPT/pentavalent vaccination, according to the Solar Hijri calendar. This information is only available for children born in the 5 years before the survey, whose first DPT/pentavalent vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer. VACDPTPEN1DAY_AF is only available for the Afghan samples.

The complementary variables VACDPTPEN1MO_AF and VACDPTPEN1YR_AF report the month and the year of the first DPT/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 DPT/pentavalent vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACDPTPEN1.
