If a vaccination card/record is available for the child, copy the dates for each immunization recorded on the card in the Date/Status column in questions 3.3-3.8.

If the card shows that the vaccine was given but there is no date or the date is not legible, write 44 in the first two cells of the corresponding Date/Status column in questions 3.3-3.8.

If the specific vaccine or dose is not recorded on the card/record or the respondent does not have a vaccination card/record, ask the respondent the corresponding question (3.3-3.8) for each vaccine. If the Respondent says the child received the vaccine, write 66 in the corresponding first two cells of the Date/Status column.

If the vaccine/dose that should have been given by the date of interview was not given, write 77 in the corresponding first two cells of the Date/Status column, and Ask: What was the main Reason why (name of Vaccine/Dose) was not given to the Child? (Record the reason and the code2 for the reason in the space provided.
