Description

Definition
HWBCGSCAR (HW14) indicates whether DHS personnel saw a BCG (anti-tuberculosis) vaccination scar on the child's arm or shoulder when measuring height and weight.

Direct information on whether the child received a BCG vaccination, based on the child's immunization card or the mother's report, is reported in VACBCG.
