Definition
VACMEAS2DAY (H9AD) reports the day of the month that children received their second measles or measles-containing vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose second measles vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.
The complementary variables VACMEAS2MO (H9AM) and VACMEAS2YR (H9AY) report the month and the year of the second measles vaccination, as recorded on a vaccination card shown to the interviewer.
According to the DHS Recode Manuals, the vaccination date may be coded as "Inconsistent" if the reported date is inconsistent with the date of birth, the date of interview, or the dates of other vaccinations.
To identify all young children who received the second measles vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACMEAS2 (H9A).
