Definition
VACHIB2YR (H65Y) reports the year that children received their second Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose second Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.
The complementary variables VACHIB2DAY (H65D) and VACHIB2MO (H65M) report the day of the month and the month of the second Haemophilus influenzae type b 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 Haemophilus influenzae type b vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACHIB2 (H65).
