Questions and instructions

Literal question

Record vaccination dates for each dose of DTP and measles

Interviewer instructions

This question is asked only when the child’s vaccination card was seen by the interviewer. It is critical to obtain written documentation of the child’s immunisation history. The interviewer should be patient while the respondent looks for it. Some respondents may not be willing to take the time to search, in which case the interviewer should strongly encourage the respondent to look for the health cards of all eligible children.
If the respondent shows the health card, the interviewer should take the information directly from the card. The dates of each dose of DTP and of measles vaccination should be recorded with the day first, then the month, and then the year. The interviewer should carefully check to see which way the dates are written on the card, and in what order the different vaccinations are listed, as these may differ than the order in the questionnaire.
