Description

Definition
VACPNEUM2MO_AF reports the month that children received their second pneumococcal vaccination, according to the Solar Hijri calendar. This information is only available for children born in the 5 years before the survey, whose second pneumococcal vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.VACPNEUM2MO_AF is only available for the Afghan samples.

The complementary variables VACPNEUM2DAY_AF and VACPNEUM2YR_AF report the day of the month and the year of the second pneumococcal 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 second pneumococcal vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACPNEUM2 (H55).
