Definition
VACOPV3YR_NP reports the year (according to Vikram Samvar, the official calendar in Nepal) that children received their third dose of the oral polio vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey, whose third dose of the oral polio vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer. VACOPV3YR_NP is only available for the Nepali samples.
The complementary variables VACOPV3DAY_NP and VACOPV3MO_NP report the day of the month and the month of the third oral polio 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 third dose of the oral polio vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACOPV3 (H8).
