Note: 1.Immunization records also look very strange here. Three doses of the polio vaccine were said to be administered on 21/06/01 (DD/MM/YY); three doses of DTP were said to be administered on 19/07/01; and three doses of HepB were noted as	1	0.2%

Note: 1.In L6, interviewer indicates from health card that child's birthweight is 26.00kg. This is not possible. Answer here was corrected and changed to 2.600 kg. 2.Interviewer, after indicating that a dose of Vit A was administered to the	1	0.2%
Note: 1.In L6, interviewer indicates that child's birthweight was 11.4 kg. This is impossible. It is hard to tell what the child's actual birthweight was, since making it equal to 1.14kg would make the child be severely underweight, and this	1	0.2%

Note: 1.Interviewer writes that child's weight is 2.17 kg. For a child who is 107 cm tall and over 7 years old, this is impossible. Our best guess is that the weight is actually 21.7kg and this is what is reflected here.	1	0.2%
Note: 1.It is hard to read the date for the 3rd dose of polio (Polio2). It actually looks like Jan74/93. Since it is not clear where the mistake lies in this vaccination date in the context of the child's overall immunization record and where	1	0.2%
Note: 1.It looks like a different handwriting (physician's) was used to record the child's height and weight. There is a date next to it (Aug3/2002), indicating that measurements were taken after the interview itself was conducted. 2.Next to	1	0.2%
Note: 1.It looks like there is a typo in the date (year) the 2nd DTP vaccine was administered. Interviewer had it as 23 Feb/92. This is before child was born. The year here was changed to 1993, which makes the vaccination date consistent wi	1	0.2%
Note: 1.It looks like there is a typo in the date the interviewer recorded for the first BCG and polio vaccines: 08/01/96 (DD/MM/YY). Since child was born on December 22, 1996, it looks like the year for these vaccines should actually be 1997	1	0.2%

Note: 1.Next to a few of the vaccines listed in the immunization chart interviewer writes a code number. Next to the fourth dose of polio, she writes: R5029; next to the second dose of DTP, T5008; next to the third dose of HepB, 3954316; and	1	0.2%

Note: 1.Next to child measurements, physician makes corrections, and these are reflected here. For height, we have 71cm, for weight 7.7kg, for waist 42.5cm and for head circumference 44cm, while interviewer had, respectively, 57cm, 5.30kg, 38c	1	0.2%

Note: 1.There were a couple of marks on this module that looked confusing. Next to L2 (height), the number 96 is written. Interviewer had registered the height as being 94.5cm. Above question L6 (on birthweight), it is written 3.340.	1	0.2%
Note: 1.To the right of the immunization chart, next to the booster column, interviewer wrote vertically another date: 07/07/97 (DD/MM/YY). We interpret that on this date the equivalent of the 18-month booster of the polio and DTP vaccine w	1	0.2%
