Definition
VACMMR2YR reports the year that children received their second measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose second measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.
The complementary variables VACMMR2DAY and VACMMR2MO report the day of the month and the month of the second measles, mumps, and rubella 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 second measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACMMR2.
