Description

Definition

VACMBZYR reports the year that children received their mebendazole (MBZ) or albendazole dose. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose mebendazole/albendazole dose date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.

The complementary variables VACMBZDAY and VACMBZMO report the day of the month and the month of the mebendazole/albendazole, 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 mebendazole/albendazole dose, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACMBZ.
