Description

Definition
VACOPV0MO_AF reports the month that children received the birth dose of the oral polio vaccination, according to the Solar Hijri calendar. This information is only available for children born in the 5 years before the survey, whose birth dose of the oral polio vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer. VACOPV0MO_AF is only available for the Afghan samples.

The complementary variables VACOPV0DAY_AF and VACOPV0YR_AF report the day of the month and the year of the birth dose of the oral polio 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 birth dose of the oral polio vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACOPV0 (H0).
