Definition
VACOPV4MO reports the month that children received their fourth oral polio vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose fourth oral polio vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.
The complementary variables VACOPV4DAY and VACOPV4YR report the day of the month and the year of the fourth oral polio 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 fourth oral polio vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACOPV4.
