Question post text

Interviewer instructions

If you have a vaccination (health) card/booklet for the child, fill in the responses to Q.506, taking the information directly from the card. When there is more than one eligible child, be certain to match the correct card with the child you are asking about. Before copying dates from the card to Q.506, examine the card carefully. The card may list the vaccinations in a different order than the questionnaire. Also Q.506 requires dates to be recorded with the day first, then the month and then the year. Check the card carefully to see which way the dates are written because sometimes the month might come first, followed by the day and year. Be very careful to record dates correctly. Besides recording vaccination dates on the card, some health facilities may also record the dates (appointments) on which the mother should bring her child for the next immunizations. Usually, these are indicated as TCA but some facilities might not indicate TCA. Be very careful not to record a scheduled appointment date as a vaccination date. It is possible that an appointment date was given, but the child never received the vaccination. Only record dates that vaccinations were actually given, and not appointment dates. Be patient and read the card thoroughly. If the card shows only part of the date, record '98' for DON'T KNOW in the column for which the information is not given.

Example: If the date given was July 2009, you would record '98' for DAY, '07' for MONTH, and '2009' for YEAR.

If the card shows that a vaccination was given, but there is no date recorded, record '44' in the

DAY column next to the vaccine and leave the month and year blank. Again, be careful to examine the card closely. For example, if a date is given for a DPT vaccination and there is simply a tick to show that a polio vaccine was also given, record the date of the DPT injection on the polio line since the tick probably indicates that the vaccinations were given on the same day. Some immunization cards have only a single line for DPT1 and POLIO1, DPT2 and POLIO2, etc. If there is a date on just one of these lines, record the same date for both the DPT and polio injections.

Example:

Mary's health card shows the following

immunizations:

BCG May 20, 2008

Polio 0 May 20, 2008

Polio 1 August 25, 2008

Polio 2 October, 2008

Polio 3 No date

DPT 1 August 25, 2008

DPT 2 October, 2008

DPT 3 No date

Measles Given, no date

Vitamin A October, 2008
