Description
Definition
VACBCGDAY_AF reports the day of the month that children received the BCG vaccination, according to the Solar Hijri calendar. This information is only available for children born in the 5 years before the survey whose BCG vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer. VACBCGDAY_AF is only available for the Afghan samples.
The complementary variables VACBCGMO_AF and VACBCGYR_AF report the month and the year of the BCG vaccination according to the Solar Hijri 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 the BCG vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACBCG (H2).
