Description

Definition
VACDPT1MO_NP reports the month that children received their first DPT vaccination according to Vikram Samvat, the official calendar in Nepal. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey, whose first DPT vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer. VACDPT1MO_NP is only available for the Nepali samples.

The complementary variables VACDPT1DAY_NP and VACDPT1YR_NP report the day of the month and the year of the first DPT vaccination according to Vikram Samvat, 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 DPT vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACDPT1 (H3).
