Description

Definition
VACBCGDAY (H2D) reports the day of the month that children received the BCG vaccination. This information is only available for children born in the 3 to 5 years before the survey whose BCG vaccination date was recorded on a card shown to the interviewer.

The complementary variables VACBCGMO (H2M) and VACBCGYR (H2Y) report the month and the year of the BCG 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 BCG vaccination, including those identified through the mother's report rather than a dated vaccination card, see VACBCG (H2).
