Description

Definition
VACPENTA1YR_NP reports the year that children received their first pentavalent 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 pentavalent vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer. VACPENTA1YR_NP is only available for the Nepali samples.

The complementary variables VACPENTA1DAY_NP and VACPENTA1MO_NP report the day of the month and the month of the first pentavalent 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 the first pentavalent vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACPENTA1 (H51).
