Interviewer instructions
If you did not see a child's vaccination (health) card and the respondent tells you that the child did receive at least one vaccination, you will ask about whether the child received each of the following vaccinations: BCG, polio, DPT, and measles. Read the introductory question (Q. 509) and then ask Qs. 509A-G, following the appropriate skip patterns. Because there are many types of vaccines, we specify how each one is given so the mother will know which vaccine we are asking about. Read the whole sentence before accepting the woman's response.
Notice that there are follow-up questions for the polio and DPT vaccinations. For the polio vaccine, we ask whether the child received it, when the child first received it, and how many times the child received it. For the DPT vaccination, we ask whether the child received the vaccination and how many times.
