Definition
VACVITD1YR reports the year that children received their first vitamin D1 vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose first vitamin D1 vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.
The complementary variables VACVITD1DAY and VACVITD1MO report the day of the month and the month of the first vitamin D1 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 D1 vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACVITD1.
