Definition
VACHB2YR (H62Y) reports the year that children received their second hepatitis B vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose second hepatitis B vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.
The complementary variables VACHB2DAY (H62D) and VACHB2MO (H62M) report the day of the month and the month of the second hepatitis 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 hepatitis B vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACHB2 (H62).
