Definition
VACVITD1DAY reports the day of the month that children received their first vitamin D2 vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose first vitamin D2 vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.
The complementary variables VACVITD1MO and VACVITD1YR report the month and the year of the first vitamin D2 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 first vitamin D2 vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACVITD1.
