Description

Definition

For children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey, VACMEARU indicates whether the child has received a measles and rubella vaccination.

VACMEARU uses composite coding, with a first digit of 2 indicating the child has been vaccinated and the second digit indicating the source of information (a dated entry on the vaccination card, an undated mark on the vaccination card, or the mother's report).
