Description

Definition
VACMEAS1MO_AF reports the month that children received their first measles vaccination according to the Solar Hijri calendar. This information is only available for children born in the 5 years before the survey, whose first measles vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer. VACMEAS1MO_ET is only available for the Afghan samples.

The complementary variables VACMEAS1DAY_AF and VACMEAS1YR_AF report the day of the month and the year of the first measles vaccination according to the Solar Hijri, 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 first measles vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACMEAS1 (H9).
