Definition
VACVITA2DAY_ET reports the day of the month that children received their second most recent vitamin A vaccination according to the Ethiopian calendar. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose second most recent vitamin A vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer. This variable is only available for the Ethiopian samples.
The complementary variables VACVITA2MO_ET and VACVITA2YR_ET report the month and the year of their second most recent vitamin A vaccination according to the Ethiopian calendar, 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 their second most recent vitamin A vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACVITA2 (H40).
