Note: 1.In L4, interviewer indicates that yes (1), child has a health card, but adds: in creche. In the immunization chart, she also says: Card kept at creche. I have changed the answer here to 3 (card not available.) 2.In L2,
Note: 1.Under L8 and L9 on breastfeeding, interviewer writes: Still on breast and adds: He was on breast with drink at birth. I have changed the value of L7 from 1 (yes) to 3 (still breastfeeding.) Following the skip pattern in the
Note: 1.Under other immunization, interviewer includes a last dose of the polio vaccine, which I include here, instead, under polio and not under other.
Note: 1. Interviewer recorded in the immunization chart that the child was given a dose of the BCG vaccine at birth, and in the booster column, added that the child was given another dose at 18months. This looks like a mistake; this 18-mont
Note: 1.After leaving L6 blank (on birthweight), interviewer writes 02 is not available. A value of 999 was imputed here to indicate that the respondent did not know the answer to this question.
Note: 1.At the margin of child measurements (height, weight, waist, head circumference), physician makes a note. She measures the child again, not at the time of the interview, but on Aug16/03 instead. While her measurements of the waist an
Note: 1.At the margin of child measurements of height and weight, it looks like the physician makes a note and seems to measure the child again (no date is included here to know when the measurements were taken again). Physician changes the c
Note: 1.Child measurements (height and weight) were taken by the physician on 31/08/02 (DD/MM/YY) and not at the time of the interview. 2.Under L9 on length of breastfeeding with supplements, interviewer writes 1.5 months. Physician crosses
Note: 1.Dates for the polio vaccine are not listed in chronological order in the immunization chart. I have left the ordering of the original data as they were. 2.Interviewer writes that the fourth dose of the polio vaccine (Polio3) was give
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
Note: 1.Immunization records are not entirely clear. a)Polio vaccines are not listed in chronological order, but timing does not look off otherwise. The original order of the polio doses listed on the immunization chart are reflected here. N
Note: 1.Immunization records look a little off. Three dates are listed under other vaccines. Only one has a description of the vaccine (EPI), which is still very general for us to determine what the child was actually given, while the two o
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
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
Note: 1.In the immunization chart, interviewer indicates a vaccine was administered on 27/10/97 (DD/MM/YY), at 18 months, but what type of vaccine it is isn’t specified.
Note: 1.In the immunization chart, interviewer indicates that the third dose of the HepB vaccine was administered on 17/12/98 (DD/MM/YY) -- the same date that the first dose was administered. It looks like there is a mistake here. Though we
Note: 1.In this module, the interviewer indicates that child was born in 2001, but leaves out day and month. Since the BCG vaccine is normally given at birth (or a day after birth), we impute here values for child's birth date, assuming it is
Note: 1.Interviewer does not measure child's waist and head circumference, so these measurements are recorded as missing. Under L2, interviewer records child's height as being 3.0 centimeters. It's impossible to deduct from here what child's
Note: 1.Interviewer indicates that child's birthweight was 3.26kg but does not specify the source of this information. Since we know from L4 that child has a health card, but that it's at school, we assume that the information came from recal
Note: 1.Interviewer indicates that child's birthweight was 31.6kg. This is impossible: birthweight was changed to 3.16kg. 2.Note that the immunization data for this case ID look very strange. Under BCG, interviewer indicates that three doses
Note: 1.Interviewer indicates with four different dates that 4 doses of an other vaccine were administered, but what type of vaccine this was isn't specified. The vaccination dates make us believe that more than one type of vaccine was admi
Note: 1.Interviewer writes at the end of the module: NB. Mentally disabled. Attends special school. 2.DoB for Case ID 0213-07-01 and 0213-06-01 is the same. Are these twins or is there a mistake? Some of the information contained in both
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.
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
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
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
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
Note: 1.Next to L3 on child weight (which is left blank), interviewer wrote: the baby cried. Next to L13 (on general health), she adds: But asthma. 2.The immunization dates for the polio, DTP, HepB, and measles vaccines are not listed
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
Note: 1.Next to an empty immunization chart, interviewer writes: Card not available. Her mother left [it] in Eastern Cape. 2. Interviewer had originally recorded child's height and waist as being 97.05cm and 61.05cm. It is highly unlikely t
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
Note: 1.Next to question L3.1 (child waist), interviewer writes: not sure about this measurement; child was squirming.
Note: 1.Next to question L3.2 on head circumference, which is left blank here, interviewer writes: Note: Not trained on this yet. 2. The way that the dates for the polio, DTP and Hep B vaccines were recorded in the immunization chart is som
Note: 1.Next to the empty immunization chart, interviewer writes: Immunizations are up to date according to his mother. No marks were made here on any specific vaccines. The variable fully immunized-- NO CARD was given a value of 1 inst
Note: 1.Next to the immunization chart by the booster column, written vertically, is another immunization date: 16/10/02 (DD/MM/YY). We interpret this as being the date when the equivalent of the 18-month boosters for the polio and DTP vacc
Note: 1.Next to the immunization chart, interviewer writes: Incomplete, according to the mother.
Note: 1.Next to the question on birthweight (L6), which is left blank and is here marked by a ., interviewer adds: The card is broken [ripped] to see birthweight.
Note: 1.No child measurements (height, weight, waist, head circumference) were taken. Next to items L2-L3.3, interviewer writes: She is not here. She is in another section of Harare. 2.In L5, interviewer indicates that caregiver does not
Note: 1.Physician corrects the height and weight of the child in the questionnaire. Her changes are reflected here. These new measurements were taken on March29/03 and not on date of interview. Physician's corrections of child's birthweight
Note: 1.Physician made a number of corrections in this module. a.Though during the first interview the child was not present--she was in the hospital-- child height, weight, waist, and head circumference measurements were taken at a later dat
Note: 1.Physician makes a couple of corrections in this module, namely child's waist measurement and child's birthweight. Birthweight was marked as being 31.6 kg and was changed to a more realistic 3.16kg. 2.Interviewer had originally recorde
Note: 1.Physician makes a number of additions/corrections to this module. Interviewer had not taken child measurements. It is the physician who takes child's height and weight on 14/09/02 (DD/MM/YY) and not on the day of the interview. Phys
Note: 1.Physician makes a number of additions/corrections to this module. Interviewer had taken child measurements, but they were inaccurate. The physician retakes child's height and weight on 14/09/02 (DD/MM/YY) and not on the day of the in
Note: 1.Physician makes a number of additions/corrections to this module. The physician retakes child's height and weight, but this is not done on the day of the interview. While no date is specified here, I assume this was done on 14/09/02
Note: 1.Physician makes correction next to the original answers interviewer provided to the breastfeeding questions and these are reflected here. Interviewer had indicated that child had never been breastfed, while physician writes down that
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.
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
Note: 1.Under L2, interviewer had indicated that child's height was 0.59cm. This is impossible. Height here was changed to 59cm. 2.Under L3, physician notes that child weighs 6.50kg. Though the height measurement was was taken at the time
Note: 1.Under L3 (on child's weight) interviewer had written 14.4kg. Next to it, physician writes: Must be incorrect. She later writes 20.07 next to it and provides the date when a new measurement was taken (29/03/03 (DD/MM/YY)). Phys
Note: 1.Under L6 (on birthweight), interviewer wrote 37.80kg, which is impossible. Next to this, there is a question mark and the number 3.78 is written down. Birthweight here was changed to 3.78kg. Interviewer forgot to indicate in the qu
Note: 1.Under L6, interviewer had written that the child's birthweight (from the health card) was 34.50kg, which is impossible. We changed this to 3.450kg here. 2.Under L9 on exclusive breastfeeding, interviewer adds: He drinks other milk d
Note: 1.Under L6, interviewer had written that the child's birthweight (from the health card) was 36.20kg, which is impossible. This was changed to 3.620kg here. 2.In the immunization chart, the dates listed under the polio vaccine are not
Note: 1.Under L6, interviewer indicates that adult respondent does not know child's birthweight and adds: They didn’t write the birthweight in the card. 2.Immunization records look very strange here. Four doses of the polio vaccine were sa
Note: 1.Under L6, interviewer indicates that child's birthweight was 33.2kg. This is impossible, so birthweight here was changed to 3.32kg.
Note: 1.Under L7, interviewer indicates that child is still being breastfed (3), but later from questions L8 and L9, we find out that the child was breastfed for a total of 3 months and was exclusively breastfed, with no supplements, for thr
Note: 1.Under L8 on breastfeeding, interviewer writes: Still on breast. I have changed the value of L7 from 1 (yes) to 3 (still breastfeeding.) Following the skip pattern in the module, questions L8 and L9 were skipped and assigned a v
Note: In L3.3 (on whether child has birth certificate) interviewer circles 2 answers: No, and Yes, but not available. Since the no is circled significantly darker here and looks like the final answer, this is what is reflected here.
Note: In the immunization chart, the dates when the measles vaccines were administered are not in chronological order. Original data were left untouched. 2.It looks like the interviewer made a mistake when writing down the 18-month boosters f
Note: Interviewer had originally recorded child's height as being 95.05cm. It is highly unlikely that this degree of accuracy was used when measuring children in their homes. Height was slightly edited and made to be 95.5cm, which is more lik
Note: Interviewer indicates in the immunization chart that two doses of the BCG vaccine were administered to the child at birth. This is impossible. We edit the data here to reflect that one dose of BCG and one dose of polio were given at bi
Note: Interviewer records that two BCG doses were administered to the child -- one on 25/05/98 (birth) and another on 23/11/99 (which she includes in the booster column.) While the date for the first dose is kept under BCG, the second dose at
Note: Next to an empty immunization chart, interviewer writes: Complete according to the mother -- NO CARD. Though no marks are made next to any specific vaccine, the var fully immunized--NO CARD is assigned a value of 1 to capture this
Note: Physician makes corrections to the head and waist measurements that were originally noted by the interviewer in the module. Physician's corrections are kept here. (No new date accompanies these corrections, so it's hard to tell when th
Note: Under other immunization, interviewer includes two dates: 07/05/02 and 10/06/02 (DD/MM/YY). As part of the description, interviewer notes: EPI Polio. Both of these vaccines are recorded here under polio, even though this creates an
Note: Under the breastfeeding questions, interviewer indicated that child had been breastfed for an overall total of 3 weeks and later that the child breastfed exclusively for 6 months. These responses look inverted. The data here are correc
Note: 1. Answer to L8 on exclusive breastfeeding does not look reasonable. Interviewer had indicated that child had been breastfed with no other drink, food or supplement for 24 months and that child was breastfed with supplements for 18 months
Note: 1. Child measurements look confusing. While interviewer had recorded child's height to be 125.05cm, child's weight to be 34.95kg, waist 0.55cm, and head circumference 0.52cm, there are other corrected figures next to these answers. The c
Note: 1. In L2, interviewer records child's height as being 44cm. This is not possible. It's difficult to make a reasonable guess at what the child's actual height was to correct this information. I have given this variable a value of ..
Note: 1. In the immunization chart, the dates the measles vaccines were administered are not in chronological order. I have left these data untouched.
Note: 1. Interviewer had indicated that child had been breastfed with no other drink, food or supplement for 13 months.Since this is impossible, this variable was top-coded at 6 months. 2.Physician noted that, according to child's older sister
Note: 1. Interviewer had originally recorded child's head circumference as being 56.05cm. It is highly unlikely that this degree of accuracy was used when measuring children in their homes. Head circumference was slightly edited and made to be
Note: 1. Interviewer had originally recorded child's height as being 105.05cm. It is highly unlikely that this degree of accuracy was used when measuring children in their homes. Height was slightly edited and made to be 105.50cm, which is mor
Note: 1. Interviewer had originally recorded child's height as being 113.05cm. It is highly unlikely that this degree of accuracy was used when measuring children in their homes. Height was slightly edited and made to be 113.50cm, which is mor
Note: 1. Interviewer indicates that two doses of the BCG vaccine were given to child: one at birth (14/03/01) and another at approximately 2 years of age (06/03/03) (DD/MM/YY). While we keep the first dose at birth under BCG, it looks like th
Note: 1. Physician takes child's height and weight measurements on Aug 18, 2002 and not at time of interview. 2.Respondent did not know child's birthweight. 3.Whereas interviewer had originally indicated that child was exclusively breastfed for
Note: 1. Respondent originally indicated that child was exclusively breastfed for 24 months, with no drink or food supplements, and also breastfed with supplements for an additional 24 months. Since this is impossible, exclusive breastfeeding
Note: 1. Third dose of the polio vaccine listed in the child's immunization chart was said to be administered on 20/07/01 (DD/MM/YY), more than a week before the child was actually born. Since it is not clear what the actual date the vaccine w
Note: 1.A third dose of the measles vaccine is recorded under other immunizations in the child's chart. In this dataset, we record it under measles instead. 2. Interviewer had originally recorded child's head circumference as being 52.05c
Note: 1.Across the empty immunization chart, interviewer writes: Had all according to mother. No marks were made here on any specific vaccines. The variable fully immunized-- NO CARD was given a value of 1 instead, to capture this.
Note: 1.Adult does not know child's birthweight, since the baby was delivered at home. 2.It looks like the vaccines listed under measles are actually HepB shots, since the HepB vaccine is normally administered concurrently with polio and DTP.
Note: 1.After identifying on question L13 that child's health is fair, interviewer adds: Asthma problem.
Note: 1.After indicating that child's general health is poor, interviewer adds: On September 2002, he was admitted at Jooste. He was diagnosed with bacterial meninghitis. 2.Under other immunizations, interviewer indicates that child was
Note: 1.Below an empty immunization chart, the interviewer writes: Original card got lost and 01 [adult] applied for new one but never got it. Recorded is blank.
Note: 1.Child has asthma. 2.The interviewer recorded that two doses of the DTP vaccine (DTP2 and DTP3) were given to the child on Nov22/99. It is not possible for two doses of this vaccine to be given simultaneously. As such, though the date
Note: 1.Child height and weight measurements were taken on July7/02 by the physician and not by the interviewer on the day of interview. 2.Immunization records are not clear: a)Under the same box as BCG and next to the second date recorded in
Note: 1.Child measurements for waist and head circumference seem to be abnormally low here and so does child's birthweight. Values were left untouched here. 2.In the immunization chart, under other vaccines, interviewer includes a third dose
Note: 1.Child measurements for waist and head circumference seem to be abnormally low here. Weight also looks high, but this could just be an overweight child. Child measurements were left untouched. 2.In the immunization chart, interviewer
Note: 1.Child measurements for waist and head circumference seem to be abnormally low here; they have been left untouched.
Note: 1.Child measurements were taken on 29/03/03 (DD/MM/YY) and not at the date of the interview. 2.Under L6.1 (on home birth), interviewer circles responses yes and no. Since it's impossible to tell which of these answers is indeed true
Note: 1.Child waist and head circumference measurements look wrong. They were left as they were for now. 2.Interviewer records that child's birthweight was 37.80kg, which is impossible. This was corrected and now appears as 3.780kg. 3.On qu
Note: 1.Child was born at 6 months and hospitalized for 2 months. 2.Next to question L8 on exclusive breastfeeding, physician makes a note and corrections. Interviewer had indicated that child was breastfed for 24 for months and that these 24
Note: 1.Child was said to be administered 2 doses of polio on the same date: 30/07/96 (DD/MM/YY). This is highly unlikely. While we keep the date for the second dose in this dataset, we set the date of the first dose to . and indicate that
Note: 1.Child's date of birth is clearly wrong. Interviewer indicates that child was born on 18/10/03 (DD/MM/YY), while the interview itself was only conducted in July of that year. From child measurements, it is also clear that this is a mu
Note: 1.Child's height looks wrong for his/her age and weight. Original record here was left untouched. 2.Note that the date the different doses of the polio vaccine were administered is not in chronological order. Original data here were le
Note: 1.Child's height recorded by the interviewer (43.00 cm) is incorrect. Since there is no obvious way of correcting this, it was left untouched for now, but analysts should take a second look at this. 2.The child's immunization records a
Note: 1.Child's height was oiginally registered as being 13.0cm, which is impossible. This was changed to 130cm here. 2.Interviewer indicated (from healthcard) that child's birthweight was 37.4kg, which is impossible. This, too, was changed
Note: 1.Child's waist measurement (L3.1) seems wrong, but it was not changed in this dataset. 2.Date for the first dose of polio is wrong. Interviewer had written 25/01/01 (MM/DD/YY), when child was not born yet. This looks like a typo; date
Note: 1.Child's waist measurement does not look right. Original data were left untouched. 2.Next to L4, on whether child has health card, interviewer adds: There were no cards in the clinic. She will get it next week.
Note: 1.DTP vaccination dates are not in chronological order in the child's immunization chart and this is reflected here. 2.Note that interviewer indicated that two doses of HepB are administered on the same date (15/05/01, DD/MM/YY). This i
Note: 1.Data on breastfeeding is not very clear in this module. Interviewer wrote that child was exclusively breastfed for 18 months (which is not possible) and later breastfed with supplements for 14 months. The physician who saw the family
Note: 1.DoB for Case ID 0213-07-01 and 0213-06-01 are the same. Are these twins or is this a mistake? Some of the information contained in both of these modules is similar but not identical. Original data were left untouched.
Note: 1.Doses for the polio and DTP vaccines are not listed in chronological order. This is left untouched here and thus reflects order in which original data appear in the immunization chart. 2.Interviewer indicates that an other vaccine
Note: 1.Doses of HepB vaccines are not listed chronologically in the original immunization chart. Data were left as they were, untouched. 2.Interviewer indicates under other immunization that child was given a vaccine on 22/10/01 (DD/MM/YY)
Note: 1.Doses of measles vaccine are not listed chronologically in child's immunization chart and this is reflected here. 2.Interviewer indicates that an other vaccine was given to child on 24/06/02 (DD/MM/YY) but does not specify what vacc
Note: 1.From the immunization records and the data we have on child height, weight, etc, it looks like the child's birthdate is incorrect. Interviewer records child's birthdate as being 26/05/03 (DD/MM/YY), which would mean that child was born
Note: 1.Height and weight measurements were taken on Aug10/02 and not on date of interview. Note that interviewer had originally indicated that child's height was .92 centimeters, which is impossible. The answer here was edited and changed to
Note: 1.Height and weight measurements were taken on Aug8/02 and not at the time of the interview. 2.Interviewer notes that adult doesn't know child's birthweight.
Note: 1.Height and weight measurements were taken on Jul28/2002 by the physician and not by the interviewer on the day of the interview. 2.Though inerviewer wrote down that a second BCG vaccine was given to child on Jun14/95 at 18 months, it l
Note: 1.Immunization records for this case are not very clear. Under other vaccines, interviewer indicates that the child received another dose of a vaccine on 28/9/98 (DD/MM/YY) and writes: 5 year. Here we understand that this refers to t
Note: 1.Immunization records look odd. Interviewer notes that child was administered 2 doses of BCG on the same day (25/10/92, DD/MM/YY), and that this was done two days before the child was actually born. While the month and year were left un
Note: 1.Immunization records look somewhat strange. There was no real obvious mistake to correct, so I have left the original data untouched. 2. Under other immunization, interviewer recorded that two doses of the HBV vaccine were given to
Note: 1.In L3, interviewer registers child's weight as being 1.70kg. Given child's age, this is not possible. Weight here was changed to 17kg. 2.Child birthweight was registered as being 33.40kg. Again, this is not possible, so weight here
Note: 1.In L6, interviewer indicates that child's birthweight was 3.04kg, but does not specify the source of this information. Since child has a health card with detailed information and the birthweight itself is so exact, I assume that it was
Note: 1.In L7, interviewer indicated that child, yes (1) was breastfed and in L8 says that child has been breastfeeding for 24 months and is still on breast. I have changed the answer in L7 to still breastfeeding (and assigned it a value
Note: 1.In cov_8, interviewer explains that child is not present at the day of the interview. Later in the module, child measurements are recorded. There is no date next to these measurements to indicate when the child was measured, but we k

Note: In the immunization chart, under other immunizations, interviewer writes VitA 527/02. I included this vaccine as VitA 1 and not other in this dataset. It is difficult to make sense of when the vaccine was administered. It looks l
Note: In the immunization chart, under other vaccines, interviewer indicates that child received two vaccines (on 30/05/00 and 17/07/02, DD/MM/YY) and describes them as polio campaign. These are included under polio and not under other
Note: In the immunization chart, under other vaccines, interviewer writes that a vaccine was administered on 25/11/97 (DD/MM/YY) and as a description of the vaccine, adds: 0708. No name for the actual vaccine is provided in the module. Th
Note: In the immunization chart, under other, interviewer lists that a vaccine was administered on 18/10/95 (DD/MM/YY) and specifies that it is Trivalant __ but the second part is difficult to read. It looks like Trivalent Drdos and this
Note: In the original immunization chart, three vaccines are included under other and described as H.B.V. These are included here under the category of Hepatitis B vaccine, and not under other.
Note: Interviewer explains that the card is left at creche.
Note: Interviewer had originally recorded child's head circumference as being 54.05cm. It is highly unlikely that this degree of accuracy was used when measuring children in their homes. This figure was slightly edited and made to be 54.50cm,
Note: Interviewer had put child's height was 1.55 centimeters. I changed it to 1.55 meters (155 centimeters). Weight seems very high, but could be an obese child. Overall weight was left untouched.
Note: Interviewer indicated that child's waist was 66.05cm. It is highly unlikely that measurements taken at home were done so at such high degree of accuracy. Here we slightly edit the answer and make it 66.50cm, which seems more likely.
Note: Interviewer indicates in the imunization chart that an other vaccine was administered to child on 19/06/96 (DD/MM/YY), but it is not specified what vaccine this was. Interviewer adds a note: Not clear in the clinic card. Since this v
Note: Interviewer indicates that child basically lives and goes to school in the Eastern Cape.
Note: Interviewer indicates that child was given two doses of the BCG vaccine: one at birth (27/06/99, DD/MM/YY) and another at 18 months (28/12/00). It seems like there is a mistake in this second vaccine, which the interviewer lists under th
Note: Interviewer indicates that the [health] card is left at creche.
Note: Interviewer indicates that this case ID is 0808-05-02 (hhid-child-adult code). The child code was scratched and written over a couple of times. In fact another case ID 0808-05-02 already exists in this dataset. At the bottom of the fron
Note: Interviewer indicates that two doses of the polio vaccine were given to child on 14/04/97 (DD/MM/YY). This looks like a mistake. While we have kept the date for the second of these doses, we record the date for the first of these as .
Note: Interviewer noted that there is no record of child's birthweight (no card) and that adult did not know whether and for how long child was breastfed.
Note: Interviewer notes that adult does not know child's birthweight and whether immunizations are up-to-date.
Note: Interviewer notes that child's health card is in Tsomo.
Note: Interviewer recorded in the immunization chart that the child was given a dose of the BCG vaccine, and in the booster column, added that the child was given another dose at 18months. This looks like a mistake and like this 18-month dos
Note: Interviewer recorded that a dose of the polio vaccine was given to child on 12/07/00 (DD/MM/YY), at about 2 months; that a dose of DTP was given on 15/08/00 (at about 3 months) and that a dose of HepB was given on 19/09/00 (at about 4 mon
Note: Interviewer records that 2 doses of the BCG vaccine were given to the child on the same day (29/05/98, DD/MM/YY). This is highly unlikely. Here we understand that a dose of BCG was indeed given to child at birth, but that the other dose
Note: Interviewer writes next to L5 that child has a health card, but that this is not child's original card.
Note: Interviewer writes next to the empty immunization chart: The house was burnt and the card was lost.
Note: Interviewer writes that adult doesn't know child's birthweight.
Note: Interviewer writes: No card available; at school. The answer to question L4, on whether child has an immunization card was changed from 1 (yes) to 3 (card not available) here.
Note: It looks like the interviewer had trouble transposing vaccine boosters from the child's original health card to the immunization chart we have in our interview guide. Here we interpret that child was administered the 18-month booster for
Note: It looks like there is a typo in the year for the DTP vaccine. Interviewer indicates that a dose was administered to child on 24/10/95 (DD/MM/YY). It seems that the year should be 1994, which would make it compatible with the date doses
Note: It seems like this interview was never completed.
Note: Most of the information in this module was left blank. At the bottom of the module, interviewer writes: The child is staying with aunt. She doesn't know other things.
Note: Most of the information on this child is missing. We don’t even have the child's birthdate. Next to L9 on breastfeeding, interviewer adds: She [the respondent] is the stepmother to the child.
Note: Next to L4 (on whether child has immunization card), interviewer writes: The card is left at New Crossroads. At the bottom of the empty immunization chart, she adds: The mother used to stay in New Cross. She left the card there. The
Note: Next to a blank immunization chart, the interviewer adds: The card was torn apart and couldn’t see anything or the immunization part was lost.
Note: Next to a number of questions (like day and month of child's birth and length of breastfeeding), interviewer writes that respondent does not know the answer.
Note: Next to an empty immunization chart and to question L4 (on whether child has a health card), interviewer writes card at creche. Under L4, however, interviewer had mistakenly indicated that child had an immunization card: I changed the

Note: Next to an empty immunization chart, the interviewer writes: No card. Card was burnt.
Note: Next to immunization chart, interviewer writes: Up to date according to mother. I did not make any marks on any specific vaccines here, but instead assigned a value of 1 to the var fully immunized--NO CARD.
Note: Next to question on breastfeeding, interviewer adds: The mother had cervical cancer and died of it. That's why she didn’t breastfeed.
Note: Next to the box that corresponds to the BCG vaccine in the immunization chart, interviewer writes: Mother says the child got his BCG but the date is not written in the card. A value of 1 is assigned to variable BCG1given to reflect
Note: Next to the immunization chart, interviewer registers two other vaccines that were given to the child. Interviewer writes: DT - 09/05/02 [DD/MM/YY] and underneath it, 95/07/18 [YY/MM/DD]. I included this first vaccine under other an

Note: Physician corrects child measurement data on height and weight on 07/09/02 (DD/MM/YY). Her corrections are reflected here.
Note: Respondent does not know for how long child was breastfed.
Note: The child measurements (height, weight, waist) initially noted by the interviewer were edited by the physician. The answers reflected here are those of the physician. For the record, the original measurements recorded by the interviewer
Note: The immunization chart for this child is very confusing. 1. Interviewer indicates that a single BCG vaccine was given to child on 15/03/98 (DD/MM/YY), when child is about 18 months old. No BCG seems to have been administered at birth an

Note: The immunization schedule for this child looks rather strange. There was nothing obvious that needed to be corrected or edited so original data were left untouched.
Note: The interviewer explains that the [child's health] card is left at the TR section by her mother's sister.
Note: The vaccines listed under polio in the immunization chart are not in chronological order. I have left original data untouched.
Note: There is a mistake in the date for the second dose of polio and the date for the first (and only) dose of DTP and HepB. Interviewer writes that these doses were administered on 27/05/03 (DD/MM/YY), but the interview itself was only condu
Note: This child is too old to have been administered this module.
Note: This child's immunization record is very strange. The doses for polio and DTP are not listed chronologically -- in fact the first and third dose listed here are only 2 days apart. Since it is not obvious whether there is a mistake and w
Note: This interview was conducted by the physician at the time of the visit to the health clinic. There is no information on immunization as the child's health card is not available -- it was left at home.
Note: Under other immunizations, interviewer indicates that child was administered two vaccines, but fails to specify what they were.
Note: Under other vaccination, interviewer includes a date when the child was administered a hearing test. I did not include this as part of the immunization data here.
Note: Vaccination schedule looks very odd here, in general. Also note that the last dose of DTP (booster) does not follow the other doses recorded in the immunization chart chronologically. It is dated as coming one day before the first dose
Note: Waist measurement does not seem right. Analysts are encouraged to take a second look at this, as original measurement was left untouched.
Note: Written vertically next to the immunization chart, but outside the box itself, next to the booster column is a date: 23/03/99 (DD/MM/YY). We understand that these correspond to boosters for the polio and DTP vaccines and record it h
